Marble House was built for Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt between 1888 and 1892 as a summer house or "cottage" as they were known.
His older brother Cornelius Vanderbilt II, built a similar but larger summer home, known as The Breakers down the street.

It's crazy. But if you looked at the homes they had on 5th Avenue NY, you would see why. Prior the the construction of The Marbl House, the homes on Newport were smaller wooden structures. Alva Vanderbilt had this house built right next door to the Asters house. She did it on purpose to thumb her nose at the "Old money" of the New York elite. Also she had the house titled only in her name and not her husband's. Not very common for the age.

It should have mentioned the lavish 1957 Tiffany Ball held here. Anyone who was anyone was in attendance. And...for a mere ticket price of twenty five dollars, the general public could soak up some of the high society by dining and sipping on the decorated lawn...a buffet was served. Some 'commoner' won the grand prize of the evening...a trip to London..I think that's what it was. Lester Lanin provided the dance tunes. It was the event of the season...July 1957.

This beautiful home reflects the Vanderbuilt, Style. It was made.up many treasures and ideas from European but the Vanderbuilts add a special touch. to many of their estates that make Americans proud.

It's "Vanderbilt". The "style" is historicism: every room a specific historic theme, but with modern features like electricity, running water and modern heating in it.

Look at all the work, the furnishings that went into building this. Employed a lot of people for the short term and gave a sustained living wage to others. All that marble is astounding. Just think of the people employed to get that raw material, ship it, install it! It is stunning not only in how beautiful it is but also in it’s sheer volume. Even if I were a servant tucked away on the 3rd floor (best floor in my opinion) I still got to live there. Now it is also employing people who maintain it and gives people pleasure from touring it. I am a simple middle class common worker who does not envy the rich. I am not poor and I make an honest living. Sure -not gonna lie -it would be cool to be this wealthy - but no one regardless of their economic stature in life escapes life’s problems. And my needs are met and I am thankful for the grace I have been given. Temporal wealth on this scale is fleeting. If I recall no one has a uhaul trailer in their coffin except the Pharoahs and to this day only the living can enjoy their riches. So enjoy it while you can. But realize true riches go far beyond temporal wealth. And being content with what we have is priceless.

I want to build a similar home to this (on a smaller scale) in Gabon. I love the façade. it would be nowhere near as ornate, partly due to personal taste but more so because i know they just don't do craftsmanship like this anymore. the marble house is one of the few American stately homes I like as much as the ones in England and France.
@prettynerd4779
@prettynerd4779 2 года назад
I hear Gabon is lovely.. but I would prefer something more traditional.. I think these homes are beautiful but they are basically reproductions.. Americans were new money back then and they were desperatly trying to imitate Europe.. similar to China... they build European style homes in China but traditional Chinese architecture is quite lovely..

My dad was taking me round our local stately home in Manchester UK)- he was a bit of a naughty lad, so he swung his long legs over the velvet rope and sat (albeit carefully) on one of the antique dining chairs, with the comment "I'm knackered". The poor guide person had to tell him off, dad said "It's a bloody chair it's made for sitting on isn't it" He did it to make me laugh I think. Actually he loved Art, and beautiful things and taught us kids to love them too, but stuffiness annoyed him, and he wanted us never to take things too seriously.

The Marble offers a pallet so clear, with it's own natural light, yet the influence of her life, experiences, and interests, in the Victorian Era, influenced each design. Style offers an energy to individual taste, see each would create our own design taste. I expected to see open spaces with light streaming in, feelings of air flowing and an entry with depth to a wide curved staircase leading up to a balcony right and left, with an entry reception area and offering adjacent setting room on one side, a library on the other, each having paneled walls opening into Ballrooms. The dark rooms react from their actual size, are thick in truly 19th Century craftsmanship, but the Victorian influence in its trademark of cluttered is so heavy, its like a rich dessert that one can taste but not finish. Altough it all offers supreme detail and rich substance, it is too heavy to enjoy for me. It is anything but a Oceanfront Granduer of Freedom, giving energy and feeling refreshed, it is confining and an interior One would expect in England, New York, or Philadelphia, a sense of push all that's a panic of opulence into a limited Space and Time. It is busy and stressful, fearful and oppressive. Of that's soothing, then it soothes fear, rather than inspiring Independence, Freedom, Inspiration, and Enjoying the Now Moment in Living. This is my response to the visual, another will have their own. It is not intended to be a negative or judgemental statement, it merely is, "how I read what I see". I've a mind that "less offers far more", and less is not limiting, rather the opposite. Beth Tennessee, USA

Mighty Lonesome , Newport was famous for their balls and parties in the summer months. Just as rich New Yorkers flock to the Hamptons today, in those times they flocked to Newport. There was always a competition among the rich familis as to who could host the most elaborate parties. As such, those homes were fully occupied during the summer months but were closed up during the winter.

Anyone think craftsman exist today that can build this? I say no way. Like the Challenger, no skilled trade talent left; just shitty academics and great academics

I agree. First, you could not duplicate the talent of the artisan. Never could the pride in the workmanship be compared to today's standard and last but not least if you could find some one with this crafting ability I can't imagine the cost. And, you couldn't remaster the character of the homes from that era

It’s just a sign of that time . If you had money, everything was over the top. With that in mind you can really see the beauty , workmanship and effort in planning. It was meant to impress then and it still does today. Absolutely stunning. And it’s a summer cottage! Lol.

Vulgarity and gaudiness on a monumental scale. The “servants” were hidden underground or out of sight on the roof, whilst the owners were pampered, when they could be bothered, in the reception areas. A colossal expense of money on an edifice that today we can gawk and gawp at as an heritage memorial, or what-ever, but the tasteless and ostentatious display of affluence continues today. The exorbitant throwing around of ill-gotten cash attained at the expense of other people who can barely pay the rent ... Oh well, some things don’t change. Much will have more, at what ever cost. 🤮
