Ochre Point Avenue, Newport. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt and completed in 1892-5 for Cornelius Vanderbilt II. Hunt died on 31 July 1895 just before the first party at the Breakers and Cornelius Vanderbilt II only enjoyed it for 4 years and died after suffering a stroke in 1899. In 1952, the building was leased by his heirs to The Preservation Society of Newport County before selling it to them for a nominal sum in 1972.

The Breakers was built as the Newport summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, grandson of "The Commodore" Cornelius Vanderbilt who established the family fortune. It was designed by preeminent American architect Richard Morris Hunt, who built many of the family's lavish mansions, and completed it in only two years in 1895 at the then-astronomical cost of more than $7 million (approximately $150 million in today's dollars adjusted for inflation).
