Summary
This week we continue our tour of Newport’s Bellevue Avenue with seven more glorious homes including Chateau-sur-Mer, The Breakers, Seaview Terrace, Rosecliff, Beechwood, Marble House and Beaulieu. There are many Gilded Age high society folks who owned these homes at one time or another such as the Astors, the Vanderbilts, and the Whetmores.
