My mom and I went to Newport and looked at a couple of mansions. This first one is Rosecliff. It is where they filmed, The Great Gatsby, True Lies, and Omistad. Pretty cool place to live for 10 weeks a year (!!!) but the owners had a sad story of their life...you'll have to visit to know what it is :)
This is the Cliff Walk in Newport and it goes along the cliff (who'd have guessed) and also by all the castles. Such a beautiful walk!
This is The Breakers. Some cool facts of this castle:- One room had platinum on the walls. VERY rare back in those days
-The Vanderbilt family owned it...the very Vanderbilt's that also owned Vanderbilt University where Nick was also accepted.
- Mr. Vanderbilt had a solid marble slad bathtub. It had 4 faucents. 2 for hot and cold fresh water, and 2 for hot and cold sea water. They had to fill and empty it several times for the marble to warm up. Craaaazy
- They only lived here 10 weeks a year...
- The National Historic society purchased it in the 80's (?) for $400,000!!! THAT's IT!!
My mom and I thought this little house was the ground/gate keepers house. Nope- it's the children's 'play' house. My brother-in-law Reid needs to step up his play house game, after seeing this!
