The Breakers, a magnificent Gilded Age mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, stands as a testament to the Vanderbilt family's wealth and social status during that opulent era. Constructed between 1893 and 1895, this Italian Renaissance-style villa was designed by the renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt. With its 70 rooms and a footprint covering approximately one acre of the 14-acre estate, The Breakers offers a glimpse into the grandeur of America's industrial age elite.
