Nestled in Newport, USA, the Marble House stands as a testament to the opulence of the Gilded Age. Built between 1888 and 1892 for William and Alva Vanderbilt, this 50-room mansion was one of the first Beaux-Arts structures in the United States. Inspired by the Petit Trianon in Versailles, the $11 million estate is primarily constructed of marble, showcasing intricate detailing and grandeur. Today, visitors can explore the lavish interiors and learn about the historical significance of this National Historic Landmark, designated in 2006.
