Built for another Vanderbilt family heir, The Breakers, a Newport, Rhode Island seaside mansion epitomizes the Gilded Age mansion era with its opulence and size

The Gilded Age was a time in American history, from about 1870 to the early 1900s. During this period, some people became incredibly rich. They built huge, fancy houses called Gilded Age mansions. These homes showed off their wealth and power.

These amazing estates were built by the nation's top business leaders. These leaders made huge fortunes in industries like tobacco, railroads, steel, and oil. Back then, there weren't many government rules or personal income taxes, which helped them get even richer. Famous architects designed these homes. They were filled with beautiful old items, furniture, and art from all over the world.

Many of these wealthy families had traveled to Europe. There, they saw the grand homes of kings and queens. They wanted to build similar grand homes in America. They spent huge amounts of money to do this, often trying to outdo each other! Many of these mansions were built in big cities and popular vacation spots in the Northeast, the Midwest, and on the West Coast. Florida also became a popular place for vacation homes.
