EDITORS COMMENTS
a magnificent mansion located at 44 Ochre Point Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, was the summer residence of Cornelius Vanderbilt II. Captured in this stunning photograph taken in 1914, the house was designed by renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt between 1892 and 1896. The estate's landscaping was overseen by Ernest William Bowditch and James Higginson Bowditch. This hand-colored lantern slide, created by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the grandeur of the Gilded Age with its symmetrical facade, Renaissance revival design, and intricate details. The steps leading up to the entrance are adorned with urns, adding to the estate's opulent appearance. The Breakers, a symbol of American wealth and heritage, is a testament to the country's rich history and the architectural masterpieces of the 20th century. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured the essence of this historic mansion in her hand-tinted photograph.

The Breakers, with its impressive facade and beautiful gardens, continues to be a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for architects and historians alike. This photograph, taken during the 1910s, is a reminder of the beauty and grandeur of America's past and the importance of preserving its historic buildings and estates for future generations to appreciate.
