Marble House
Submitted for #FlickrFriday #ThereIsNoPlaceLikeHome.
It's certainly not my home, but it was the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt. One of the "summer cottages" that line Newport, Rhode Island's Bellevue Avenue and Cliff Walk, Marble House was built between 1888 and 1892. Of its $11 million 1892 price tag , $7 million was spent on 500,000 cubic feet of marble.
