Marble House
Marble House is a dazzling Newport mansion built with 500,000 cubic feet of marble in 1892. It was a summer home for the Vanderbilt family and looks like a shining palace.
People love its golden ballroom and the pretty Chinese Tea House by the sea. It also has a special place in history for the women who fought for the right to vote.
