About The Breakers
The Breakers, a Gilded Age mansion, stands at 44 Ochre Point Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. Cornelius Vanderbilt II, of the wealthy Vanderbilt family, had it built as his summer home between 1893 and 1895. Richard Morris Hunt designed the mansion in the Renaissance Revival style, and the interior was decorated by Jules Allard and Sons together with Ogden Codman Jr. The entrance on Ochre Point Avenue is marked by baroque gates of forged wrought iron.
The house has 70 rooms and a gross area of 12,850 square meters (138,300 square feet), of which 5,804.8 square meters (62,482 square feet) is living area on five floors. Its footprint covers about 0.4 hectares (one acre) of a 5.7-hectare (14-acre) estate on cliffs that look out over Easton Bay of the Atlantic Ocean. A limestone-and-iron fence, 3.7 m (12 feet) high, borders the property on every side except the ocean side.
Vanderbilt bought the grounds in 1885. The earlier mansion there, owned by Pierre Lorillard IV, burned down on November 25, 1892, and Vanderbilt then commissioned Hunt to rebuild it. Vanderbilt insisted on making the new building as fireproof as possible, so its structure combines masonry and steel trusses, and no part of it is wooden. On completion in 1895 it was the largest and most opulent house around Newport. The National Register of Historic Places listed it in 1971, and it became a National Historic Landmark in 1994.
