EDITORS COMMENTS
The Breakers," a magnificent mansion located at 44 Ochre Point Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, was built between 1892 and 1896 for Cornelius Vanderbilt II. Designed by renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt in the Renaissance Revival style, this grand estate is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Gilded Age in America. The house was further enhanced by the landscaping efforts of Ernest William Bowditch and James Higginson Bowditch. This stunning photograph, taken in 1914, captures the beauty and elegance of "The Breakers" in its full splendor. The intricate balustrade adorning the facade, the meticulously manicured lawn, and the lush gardens are all on full display. The hand-tinted lantern slide, created by Frances Benjamin Johnston, adds an extra layer of vibrancy and richness to the image. The Breakers was one of the most famous summer residences of the Vanderbilt family, a dynasty known for their wealth and influence during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The estate, with its grand architecture and beautiful surroundings, is a significant piece of American history and a must-see for anyone interested in the country's heritage. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the grandeur and beauty that once defined the American elite. It is a testament to the artistry of Frances Benjamin Johnston, who captured the essence of this iconic estate on film, and to the enduring allure of Newport's historic mansions.
