1901 National Historic Landmark
The summer retreat of coal magnate Edward Berwind
and his wife Herminie, The Elms was a thoroughly
“modern” house in 1901. So technologically advanced
for its time it appeared to work “as if by magic,” it also
houses monumental art works, including wall-sized
Venetian paintings, Chinese lacquer panels and tapestries.

This imaginative audio tour brings the great house to life
for visitors of all ages.
“My youngest was listening

c. 1748 National Historic Landmark
Pass through the front door of Hunter House and you
step back into Newport’s 18th-century Golden Age, the
era before the American Revolution. It was the home
of a merchant, ship owner and colonial deputy, and
later became the Revolutionary War headquarters of
the French Navy. You’ll see up close a great collection
of exquisite colonial furniture, created by legendary
Newport craftsmen like the Townsends and Goddards.

daughter Eliza

“We learned the history of this wonderfully restored Victorian.
I really enjoyed seeing the architectural “tricks” they employed
to make the house appear even grander than it was…. And don’t
forget to check out the trees as you exit..”
Trip Advisor Traveler Review
Chateau-sur-Mer 1852 National Historic Landmark
A product of the America-China Trade and one of
America’s great Victorian houses, Chateau-sur-Mer
was home to three
generations of the
Wetmore family.
You’ll see hand-carved
Italian woodwork,
Chinese porcelains,
Egyptian and Japanese
Revival stenciled
wallpapers, and rare
trees from as far
away as Mongolia.
Senator Wetmore with daughter Annie
I saac B ell H ouse 1883
National Historic Landmark
The Isaac Bell House is a masterpiece of the American
Shingle Style featuring Arts and Crafts interiors,
Japanese-inspired columns, and a sweeping open floor
plan. Together with Kingscote, these two picturesque
cottages illustrate Newport’s evolution as
a premier place for great design, fine
living and the creation of a distinctly
American style of architecture.

“Simply Stunning! This mansion is amazing…You can just feel
all the history in the walls of this place. What these walls have
seen through the decades! Breathtaking architecture and design.
I could have stayed there all day. The view is AMAZING … A

1892 National Historic Landmark
Created by Alva Vanderbilt
and Richard Morris Hunt and
inspired by the Petit Trianon
at Versailles, Marble House
contains 500,000 cubic feet
of marble. Intended as an
ultimate statement of Gilded
Age privilege, only a few years
later it hosted Alva’s “Votes
for Women” rallies on the
back lawn. Hear the words
of Alva Vanderbilt, her
daughter Consuelo and
many more, brought to life in
the award-winning audio tour.
See and hear how the
Duke of Marlborough
proposed to Consuelo
Vanderbilt, his
American princess.

1902
The audio tour brings
Rosecliff’s history
and romance to life
with never-before-told
stories and first person
remembrances of its
colorful families. From
Tessie Oelrichs, who built
this fantasy in terra cotta,
to the Monroes of New
Orleans, the last family
to call Rosecliff home, you’ll discover the very
human story of Newport’s great party house.
Private Events
Glistening white and
boasting ocean views,
Rosecliff provides the
perfect backdrop for any
special occasion. Whether
planning a corporate event
or grand wedding, this
Gilded Age masterpiece is
the ideal setting.
Splendor at Sea:
The Golden Age of
Steam Yachting in America
R osecliff E xhibition
M ay 21 - J anuary 1, 2017
The advent of private steam
yachts in America brought
with it a new social schedule
as industrial tycoons took to
pleasure cruising as never
before. Much like the city
mansions and summer cottages
of the Gilded Age elite, these
floating palaces quickly became
status markers for the men who
used conspicuous consumption
as their standard of measure.

“A lesson in preservation…What pleases me as a lover of history is the
painstaking efforts taken by the Preservation Society to restore, preserve

recommend the measures taken by this ‘Preservation Society’ as a model.”

K ingscote 1841
National Historic Landmark
Built in 1841 for Georgia plantation owner George Noble
Jones and rebuilt for the King family in 1881, Kingscote still
possesses original rooms from each era. At the center is one
of America’s greatest dining rooms, with Tiffany glass and a
unique cork ceiling. Its furnishings reflect the King family’s
success as China Trade merchants, with rare furniture,
silver collections and Chinese decorative arts.
C hepstow 1861
Gwendolen King’s wedding, 1901
This charming Italianate-style cottage was designed by Newport
architect George Champlin Mason. Today it reflects the mid20th-century style of its last owner, Alletta Morris McBean, a
descendant of Lewis Morris III, a signer of the Declaration of
Independence. The house contains original family furnishings,
and a collection
of important
19th-century
American
paintings,
including
Hudson River
landscapes.
“Hidden gem....Wonderful!.”

Green Animals Topiary Garden c. 1860
A lion, a camel, a bear, oh my! These and dozens of other
fanciful animals, a sailing ship, teacups, spirals and other
geometric shapes sculpted from living plants populate one of
the oldest topiary gardens in North America. The Brayton
family home is located on the grounds of Green Animals. A
self-guided tour of the house is included
with your admission.
