The Breakers - Jon Alexander

 

These two pictures are of The Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island.  They use to be home to the Vanderbilt family who were railroad barons.  I think these homes were fashioned after French Chateaus. Inside the house is simply put, overwhelming in detail.  Its a museum now, but to have lived there must have been intense.  They had an army of servants operating the house and its located off the Atlantic and it has a huge backyard.  I don't think a home can be as ornately decorated inside as the Breakers.  Truly one of a kind.
