Rosedale Apartments is a historic apartment house at 1180 Narragansett Boulevard in Cranston, Rhode Island, designed by architect Herbert R. Hunt and built in 1939–40. The Art Moderne structure takes a distinctive U-shaped form that commands a view of Narragansett Bay, with three stories facing the street and four stories descending toward the water. As a rare statewide example of large-scale Art Moderne architecture and one of only a few such buildings erected in Cranston before World War II, it represents a notable expression of the style in the region. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
