The construction of the Tredegar House on a 90-acre property began in 1664 and was completed in 1672. This property was the home of the Morgan family, which eventually became Lords Tredegar, a highly influential family in the area. The house was originally built on stone but was expanded using red bricks. Since March 2012, Tredegar’s House is now a historical landmark that is under the supervision of the National Trust.

Marion Graves Anthon Fish a.k.a. “Mamie” built Crossways in 1896 finishing in 1898 (a ballroom was added later). Mamie wanted something different than the other Newport mansions which were ostentatious “palaces” while called “cottages”. Mamie opted for a colonial style, which looks great. It’s one of my favorite Newport Mansions.

Castle Hill is situated on a 40-acre peninsula. Castle Hill was built in 1875 by Boston architect Robert Slack and served as a summer retreat for scientist and explorer Alexander Agassiz. The property was a private residence for much of its history, and was converted into a private inn in the late twentieth century.

The Vinland Estate was constructed in 1882 by Peabody & Stearns to serve as the official residence of to***co heiress Catherine Lorilland Wolfe. This property exhibits the Romanesque Revival style exterior that used red sandstone. This estate was eventually donated to Salve Regina University, with the main building now being called McAuley Hall.

Marble House is another Vanderbilt mansion. In fact, it’s the first “over-the-top” mansion to be built in Newport. Many soon followed, but Alva Vanderbilt set the stage.

She also spent a fortune on the house – reportedly $11 million (about $308 Million in 2018 dollars). Think about that – the house you see above, which is impressive but not as impressive as The Breakers (and certainly not as big as the Breakers) cost a whopping $300+ million in today’s money. That’s far more than any house today – given that the most expensive house sold in the world went for $149 million in Hong Kong.

The Breakers is the largest Newport cottage. It has an astonishing 65,000 sq. ft. and cost $7 million ($212 million in 2018).

When looking at photos of it for the first time, it’s hard to know which facade is the front because all 4 sides are grand and huge. It’s quite the place.

Rosecliff was built by heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs in 1899. She apparently spent $2.5 million on the place ($75,000,000 in 2018).

Rosecliff is my favorite Newport mansion. I love the symmetry, courtyard, stark white exterior and ornamentation. It’s a grand mansion that retains some lightness in the design. It’s truly stunning. I do suspect, however, that the interior is far too fussy for my liking.

The Elms was built from 1899 to 1901 by the Berwind family costing about $1.5 million. It was one of the first gilded mansions to be fully wired. The Berwinds employed 40 servants to run the estate.

Not the grandest “cottage” in Newport, but I think it’s one of the nicest. I like the simple, solid exterior design and large property.

Beechwood was built in 1851, then renovated from 1888 to 1890 by the Mrs. Astor (married to William Backhouse Astor). It was built pre-gilded age mansions but the Astors expanded it including adding a ballroom that could accommodate the 400.
