Step inside Marble House and you are immediately surrounded by grandeur on a scale that feels almost theatrical. Commissioned by William K. Vanderbilt and completed in 1892, this Newport cottage set a new standard for Bellevue Avenue excess, its facade clad in pale Indiana limestone and its rooms dripping in gold leaf and imported marble. Marble House earned its name honestly. More than 500,000 cubic feet of marble went into its construction, sourced from quarries across Europe and North America. Today the mansion stands as one of the finest examples of Beaux-Arts architecture in the United States.
We did the tour yesterday with Ray, and he was fantastic!! He knows all the history of Newport, and it was so interesting. He was funny, told us stories of growing up there, waved to people he knew walking by. You can see he really loves what he does…and Newport! The Breakers was spectacular….the only disappointment was the construction going on which allowed us not to be able to go to the backyard for a good view of the water : ( Next time in Newport will be a visit to the Marble House, and we would definitely do another Viking tour! I recommend everyone do it!
