Marble House
Nov. 23, 2004
For a truly memorable experience, your group cannot miss the Marble House, located centrally in Newport, Rhode Island. The house was started in 1888 for William Vanderbilt, grandson to the steamship and railroad mogul, Cornelius Vanderbuilt. The name is taken from the more than 50, 000 cubic feet of marble throughout the house. Its radiant detail and impeccable decoration brings on a new meaning to “cottage.” The site overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and is a must see for all visitors.
