Newport Mansion Tour


This is only part of The Breakers (the Cornelius Vanderbilt home) it extends beyond the trees!

The people on the balcony are where the above photo was taken from



We went to two of the houses, and are set to go back and see three more. They were at once so beautiful to look at; all the architectural details and the sheer opulence and a gross display of throwing wealth around. These homes were only used for 8-10 weeks a year as they were 'summer cottages'.
