Historic Treasure
Our Take
The Breakers, the Vanderbilts “summer cottage,” is the most famous of the Gilded Age Newport Mansions for good reason. It’s breathtaking in scope and scale and it’s hard to imagine anyone actually living here. The design of this grand home was inspired by European palaces and every room is more lavish than the last. Come around Christmas when the interiors are draped in red, gold, and evergreen.
