This is a short clip of "The Breakers," a 70 room Mansion in Newport Rhode Island RI. Cornelius Vanderbilt II (grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt) and his wife Alice Gywnn Vanderbilt built the house between 1893 and 1895 as their summer cottage. Their regular New York mansion on 5th Avenue was twice the size of the Breakers. The private non-profit Preservation Society of Newport County purchased the house in 1972 for a token sum.
