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, a prominent American businessman and philanthropist of the Gilded Age. Designed by renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt, this Renaissance Revival masterpiece is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era. The house was further enhanced by the landscaping efforts of Ernest William Bowditch and James Higginson Bowditch, creating a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the impressive facade of "The Breakers." The hand-tinted lantern slide, created by Frances Benjamin Johnston, adds a vibrant touch to the black-and-white image, bringing the intricate details of the building to life.
