It was constructed in 1895 by Richard Morris Hunt for Cornelius Vanderbilt II, who made his fortune in the railroad and steamship industries. It is the largest house in Newport. Cornelius’s brother built Biltmore, the largest home in America in Ashville, South Carolina. Vanderbilt’s summer home was used for entertaining his business clients, friends and the home of many summer parties. The Vanderbilts also owned one city block in New York on 5th Avenue, a four story building which was destroyed by redevelopment. Mr. Vanderbilt also built the Grand Central Station in New York City and ran his train line from New York to Chicago.

During a summer in Newport, Theresa met Hermann Oelrichs playing tennis at the Newport Casino. They were married in 1890. A year later, they purchased the property known as Rosecliff from the estate of historian and diplomat George Bancroft.

Marble House

Right next to Astor’s Beechwood is The Marble House, built in 1892. The Marble House was designed by Richard Morris Hunt for William K. Vanderbilt. He then gave it to his wife Alva for her 39th birthday. This palace used 500,000 cubic ft. of stone. White Marble came from Hudson River quarry, New York. The Vanderbilts chose it because they loved the gold and large mica chips in the stone, which makes it glimmer under light.

Rough Point Museum

Mr. Duke died in 1925 when Doris was 12 years old. Mr. Duke was a benefactor of Duke University named for his father. He made his fortune in tobacco industry, Camel cigarettes. He left half of his fortune to the Duke endowment and the other half $ 100 million dollars to Doris.

Les briseurs

Arrivant sur votre gauche n'est autre que le fameux Breakers. Il a été construit en 1895 par Richard Morris Hunt pour Cornelius Vanderbilt II, qui a fait fortune dans les industries ferroviaire et maritime. C'est la plus grande maison de Newport. Le frère de Cornelius a construit Biltmore, la plus grande maison d'Amérique à Ashville, en Caroline du Sud. La résidence d'été de Vanderbilt a été utilisée pour divertir ses clients d'affaires, ses amis et la maison de nombreuses fêtes d'été. Les Vanderbilt possédaient également un pâté de maisons à New York sur la 5e Avenue, un immeuble de quatre étages qui a été détruit par le réaménagement. M. Vanderbilt a également construit la gare Grand Central à New York et exploité sa ligne de train de New York à Chicago.

15

Rosecliff

En venant sur votre gauche, ce charmant manoir en blanc est Rosecliff. L'héritière d'argent du Nevada, Theresa Fair Oelrichs, a commandé Rosecliff en 1899. Au cours d'un été à Newport, Theresa a rencontré Hermann Oelrichs jouant au tennis au casino de Newport. Ils se sont mariés en 1890. Un an plus tard, ils ont acheté la propriété connue sous le nom de Rosecliff à la succession de l'historien et diplomate George Bancroft. Elle a embauché l'architecte Stanford White, qui a modelé Rosecliff d'après le Grand Trianon, le jardin de retraite des rois de France à Versailles.

Maison de marbre

Juste à côté d'Astor's Beechwood se trouve The Marble House, construite en 1892. La Marble House a été conçue par Richard Morris Hunt pour William K. Vanderbilt. Il l'a ensuite offert à sa femme Alva pour ses 39 ans. Ce palais utilisait 500 000 pieds cubes de pierre. Le marbre blanc provient de la carrière de la rivière Hudson, à New York. Les Vanderbilt l'ont choisi parce qu'ils aimaient l'or et les gros éclats de mica dans la pierre, ce qui la fait briller sous la lumière.

17

Musée de Rough Point

Sur votre gauche se trouve Rough Point. Il appartenait à James Buchannan Duke et sa seconde épouse. Ils ont eu une fille nommée Doris Duke. Les ducs vivaient à New York sur la Cinquième Avenue. M. Duke est décédé en 1925 alors que Doris avait 12 ans. M. Duke était un bienfaiteur de l'Université Duke du nom de son père. Il a fait fortune dans l'industrie du tabac, les cigarettes Camel. Il a laissé la moitié de sa fortune à la dotation Duke et l'autre moitié 100 millions de dollars à Doris. Doris à 12 ans a passé l'été à Newport avec sa mère et a vécu à New York et a fréquenté l'école dans une limousine avec chauffeur. Les femmes de chambre qui s'occupaient d'elle tenaient un album photo de ses vêtements afin qu'elle puisse planifier sa garde-robe. Elle avait également des gardes pour la protéger contre l'enlèvement (après le bébé limbourgeois) contre rançon. En 1966, Doris Duke et son architecte d'intérieur Eduardo Tirello quittaient Rough Point dans sa voiture lorsque Doris met accidentellement la voiture en marche en faisant courir Eduardo dans un arbre, le tuant.

Ferme d'Hammersmith

Comme vous le savez probablement, le nom de jeune fille de Jacky Kennedy était Jacqueline Bouvier. Jacky a commencé à venir à Newport pour passer du temps avec sa mère Janet Lee Bouvier et son beau-père Hugh Dudley Auchincloss. Hugh Auchincloss était un Newporter natif. Jacqueline Bouvier a passé la majeure partie de son adolescence ici, apprenant à monter à cheval tout en travaillant à la ferme. Comme vous le savez, Jackie a épousé John F. Kennedy en 1953. Ce que vous ne savez peut-être pas, c'est qu'ils se sont mariés ici à Newport à l'église catholique St. Mary's du centre-ville et ont eu leur réception de mariage ici à Hammersmith, la maison d'enfance de Jackie.
