This picture of The Breakers was taken at 44 Ochre Point Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island. The Breakers was the summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, a member of the wealthy Vanderbilt family who built their family fortune through the shipping and railroad businesses. The mansion was completed in 1895 and although about one third the size of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, I actually think it was more prudently designed. This photo is taken of the rear of the Estate as it overlooks Easton Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
this place is stunning inside...even Danny was impressed at 14 years old...lol..
