"The Breakers" is the crown jewel among Newport, Rhode Island estates. This grand summer "cottage" of the Vanderbilt family is the most popular attraction in the entire state of Rhode Island, visited annually by over 450 thousand people. In this video, we'll delve into its history, check on its abundant outdoor and indoor amenities, and discover the intricate peculiarities of this renowned symbol of the Gilded Age.
The estate is huge, comprising 70 rooms. Its gross area is nearly one hundred thirty-eight thousand square feet, and there are sixty-two thousand square feet of living area on five floors.
Cornelius Vanderbilt II purchased the sprawling grounds in 1885 for 450 thousand dollars, which equals nearly 15 million dollars today. That was a hefty investment, but Cornelius Vanderbilt II was a wealthy man. His grandfather, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, bequeathed him 5 million dollars, and his father, William Henry "Billy" Vanderbilt, bequeathed him around 70 million dollars. Cornelius Vanderbilt II was the president and chairman of the New York Central Railroad, and other members of the Vanderbilt family were among the top industrialists in America.
The home is highly valued for its architectural splendor, making contemporaries call Hunt the "dean of American architecture." For more than 125 years, it has entertained presidents, royalty, and other noble guests from all over the world.
The Breakers has been featured in numerous films, television shows, and documentaries. It remains a cultural icon, symbolizing the wealth and excess of America’s Gilded Age.
The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1994. It is now a museum open throughout the year.
