Edgewood Yacht Club is an historic yacht club in Cranston, Rhode Island at 3 Shaw Avenue.
The Edgewood Yacht Club was originally founded in 1889 and incorporated in 1902. A fire in 1908 destroyed the original building, and the structure was rebuilt that same year.[2] The club was constructed by Murphy, Hindle & Wright in 1908 in a shingle style. The building was constructed on pilings over the Providence River, and is especially notable for having survived the storm surge that accompanied the 1938 Hurricane, as well as the one that occurred during Hurricane Carol in 1954. The clubhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1989.
The entire building was destroyed by fire during the early morning hours of Wednesday, January 12, 2011. The fire began shortly after 4:00 am EST by lightning during an intense snowstorm; by 5:30 am, the building was gone. No one was injured, and officers say they plan to rebuild. What was left of the building was razed, save for the pilings, which now support a wooden dock. The slips and mooring field remain operational.[3][4][5]
