I once thought mansions only existed in movies, until I set my foot on the Gilded Age Mansions in Newport, Rhode Island. A must see for architecture buffs, history lovers and for ordinary people like me – a must visit to feel awed, amazed, astounded. These photos were from the 4 mansions (The Breakers, The Marble House, The Rosecliff and The Elm) seen in 1 day. It was a mind boggling and jaw dropping experience. I apologize for the absence of detailed descriptions. There was too just too much to see and take in.
The Elm Mansion, 367 Bellevue Avenue. Completed in 1901 at the cost of $1.4M
The Rosecliff Mansion, 548 Bellevue Avenue. Completed in 1902 at the cost of $2.5 M
The Marble House, 367 Bellevue Avenue. Completed in 1892 at the cost of $11 M
