Virtual Tour of Hunter House in Newport, RI

EVENTS >  VIRTUAL PROGRAMS

Virtual Tour

Recorded summer 2022 .

A rare surviving waterfront home from Newport’s colonial era, Hunter House was the first property rescued by The Preservation Society of Newport County in 1945. After a 75-year -long run of celebrating Newport’s 18th-century artisan community, the Preservation Society recently debuted a new tour of this iconic Rhode Island house museum. Supported in part by a Dean F. Failey Grant from the Decorative Arts Trust, the updated visitor experience provides an important model of reinterpreting a space and objects to include residents and narratives that had been overlooked in the past.

For the Trust’s virtual tour, Preservation Society Director of Museum Affairs and Chief Curator Leslie Jones introduces Research Fellow MaryKate Smolenski , who was integral to the research, planning, and script-writing of this new tour. MaryKate guides us on a fascinating journey through the experiences of the house’s owners and the enslaved people who worked there. Exquisite objects, including Goddard and Townsend furniture and Gilbert Stuart paintings, grace the rooms, all with stories relating to the house’s residents and Newport’s history. This inviting and informative tour is not to be missed!

The Preservation Society of Newport County is offering new virtual tours of its historic houses and recent exhibitions as a free activity for people to enjoy while the house museums are closed.

Visitors to the Preservation Society’s website, NewportMansions.org , now can take self-guided 3-D tours through The Elms, Marble House, Isaac Bell House and Hunter House. They can also virtually experience two previous exhibitions at Rosecliff: “John James Audubon: Obsession Untamed” and “Tiffany Glass: Painting With Color and Light.”

Check out the tours here:  www.newportmansions.org/exhibitions/virtual-exhibition-tours

“We have had a phenomenal reaction to this,” Preservation Society CEO and Executive Director Trudy Coxe said in a press release. “Everybody has been through a Newport Mansion, but it gives you the opportunity, on a room-by-room basis, to zoom in on an object you might not have noticed.”

The Preservation Society says that Research Fellow Sébastien Dutton is working to complete more of these virtual tours, and they will be posted as they are finished. This work is being supervised by Leslie Jones, Director of Museum Affairs and Chief Curator.

“This technology allows us to digitize the interiors of all our historic properties, in an effort not only to bring these spaces and their content to the public, but also as a matter of our core preservation principles,” Jones said in a press release. “It allows for us to not only visually account for the interiors and their aesthetics and the placement of objects, but it also allows us to have accurate measurements of every floor space, every ceiling height, down to the millimeter.”

The mansions of Newport, Rhode Island, once served as summer “cottages” for the wealthy. Families came to escape life in the big city for six weeks of the year in Newport. They carried last names such as Vanderbilt, Morgan, and Astor. In the late 1800s, sometimes called the Gilded Age, they poured their money into lovely homes on rolling green hills next to the ocean.

Many of the grand mansions in Newport, Rhode Island were designed by prominent architects of the Gilded Age. Architects like Richard Morris Hunt, Stanford White, and McKim, Mead & White contributed to the opulent designs of these summer cottages for America’s elite families such as the Vanderbilts and Astors. Their architectural feats still stand as testaments to the era’s wealth and sophistication.

Today, you can marvel at the opulence, imagine the extravagant parties that were hosted here, and dream about days filled with sailing on yachts and playing tennis.

Tours of the mansions cover many aspects of life and appeal to a wide range of interests. You’ll learn about decorative arts, architecture, gardens and landscapes, family history, and what daily life was like for the servants. Events and lectures will enrich your visit, too.

The prime time to tour the Newport mansions is between May and October. Some are open year-round, and some are open only on weekends. Check the websites for the different mansions to plan your visit. The Preservation Society of Newport County , which oversees all of the homes, allows you to buy tickets in advance and learn more about the different options.

When you arrive in Newport, stop in at the visitor center at The Breakers to pick up more information or tickets. You can grab a bite to eat there, too. Buses leave for the other mansions every 20 minutes. Allow at least an hour to an hour and a half to tour each mansion.

Some mansions are so large you wonder how the family kept from getting lost inside. Others are included in the group of “mansions,” but they are actually more modest historic homes. Try to include both larger and smaller homes in your tour plans.

Read on to find out more about the amazing mansions of Newport.

9 Best Mansions in Newport, Rhode Island

1. the breakers.

The Breakers is the grandest and best known of the mansions. If you have a limited amount of time to spend in Newport, this one should top your list. Built on 13 acres of a bluff above the Atlantic Ocean, this 70-room home was named for the waves that crash on the rocks below.

The Breakers is a prime picture of the extravagance of the Gilded Age. No expense was spared as the Vanderbilt family spent money earned from the thriving New York Central Railroad. The Italian Renaissance decor is luxurious, with rare marble and alabaster, along with gilded woods, throughout. The mansion includes a Great Hall with a 45-foot-high ceiling and a Morning Room with platinum leaf wall panels. The latest technology went into the modern plumbing and the elevator.

A fun part of your visit will be hearing the voices of The Breakers with the audio tour. Family members and staff “talk” to you as you move through the home. And you can enjoy finding fanciful touches such as the dolphin hiding under the grand staircase and the dining room dragons.

The basement is also open to the public. Here you’ll learn about the wonders of the heating and cooling system and other cutting-edge inventions of the time. It;s a perfect destination for a weekend in Newport .

Hungry? The Garden Cafe is open for lunch or a snack.

2. The Elms

This summer retreat of coal magnate Edward Berwind was modeled on a French-style chateau. A large art collection decorates the walls and includes Venetian paintings, tapestries, and Chinese lacquer panels. The Elms boasted the latest technology when it was finished in 1901. It was one of the first houses in Newport to use electricity.

The Elms “below stairs” is the focus of the Servant Life Tour. More than 40 men and women worked hard to provide the upstairs residents their lavish lifestyle. On the tour, you’ll learn about the lives of the butler, cooks, and maids.

The option to go upstairs from the main floor takes you to the servant living quarters and a rooftop view of the quaint Rhode Island city . Be prepared to climb stairs for both the downstairs and upstairs tours.

A sunken garden features flower beds with pink begonias, clipped hedges, trees, fountains, and marble pavilions.

3. Marble House

This mansion was inspired by the Petit Trianon at Versailles. Commissioned by the Vanderbilts in 1892, the house contains 500,000 cubic feet of American, Italian, and African marble. William Vanderbilt gave the deed to the house to his wife, Alva, as a 39th birthday present.

The notable history of the Marble House includes Alva’s “Votes for Women” rallies that she hosted on the back lawn. The audio tour lets you hear the words of Alva, her daughter Consuelo, and many others as they championed this cause.

A colorful Chinese tea house overlooks the Atlantic Ocean on the grounds of the Marble House. Relax here with a snack or lunch and take in the sweeping views.

4. Rosecliff

The romance of the Gilded Age lives on at Rosecliff , a lovely baroque-style mansion overlooking the Atlantic and surrounded by 20 acres of lawn and gardens. Movies filmed here include The Great Gatsby , True Lies , Amistad , and 27 Dresses . Rosecliff also hosts the popular Newport Flower Show every spring.

The audio tour includes the stories of those who lived here and partied in the gardens. From the time Rosecliff opened in 1902 to the present, it’s been a choice location for everything from business events to wedding receptions.

Notable features of the house are the immense ballroom where Arnold Schwarzenegger tangoed with Tia Carrere in True Lies and the beautiful limestone sweetheart’s staircase.

5. Hunter House

Enter the Hunter House and step back into colonial times. Built before the American Revolution, this was the home of a wealthy merchant and ship owner, and it served as the Revolutionary War headquarters of the French Navy.

Furnished with colonial furniture, the house is smaller than the more imposing mansions and will give you a glimpse into everyday life in Newport. You’ll see paintings by artists such as Gilbert Stuart, and there’s a notable collection of Newport pewter.

This is the house that prompted the formation of the Preservation Society of Newport County. In 1945, concerned local residents feared that the Hunter House would be sold or dismantled by someone who didn’t appreciate its history. So the society was formed and immediately set to work collecting colonial-era art and artifacts as the house was restored. The society continues to expand and preserve more Newport mansions .

6. Isaac Bell House

The Isaac Bell House , built in 1883 for a wealthy cotton broker, is fascinating for its architecture. Using a mix of English, continental European, colonial American, and Japanese styles, the builders experimented with design. The result is an intriguing, many-shingled house with bamboo-style columns and an open floor plan.

Check the website for seasonal opening hours.

7. Kingscote

With original rooms from 1841, Kingscote shows off rare furniture, silver collections, and Chinese decorative arts. Built in 1839 for a Georgia planter, this Gothic Revival house was abandoned during the Civil War and later occupied by the King family. The dining room added in 1881 includes the earliest known Tiffany glass decor.

8. Chateau-sur-Mer

Considered Newport’s first true mansion, Chateau-sur-Mer is a truly unique house. This National Historic Landmark is one of the finest examples of High Victorian architecture and was considered the most palatial residence in Newport until the appearance of the Gilded Age Vanderbilt houses in the 1890s. 

The main house of the estate, Chateau-sur-Mer, was built as an Italianate-style villa for China trade merchant William Shepard Wetmore by local contractor Seth Bradford. While the property’s original carriage house and stables are now part of the university’s Antone Academic Center, the Chateau-sur-Mer residence is in the Preservation Society’s hands.

9. Rough Point

Located at the southern end of Bellevue Avenue, Rough Point is perhaps best loved not for its grandeur but for its most famous resident, Doris Duke. The feel is slightly less museumlike than at most of the other mansions, though “lived-in look,” is a relative phrase when applied to the dwellings of billionaires. 

Built in 1887 by the architecture firm Peabody and Stearns, Rough Point was designed to look and feel like an English manor. It features red sandstone and granite, and wonderful gardens and lawns. The formal rooms, including the impressive Music Room and Yellow Room, are visually striking, but the ocean-facing Solarium offers the best views.

What To Know Before You Go

All of these mansions are run by the Preservation Society of Newport County. Hours and days for touring vary and may change with the seasons. Check the information for each house you want to visit before you map out your itinerary.

A package that includes a tour of The Breakers, Marble House, and The Elms will save you some money.

The Breakers and Rosecliff offer full wheelchair access. Marble House and The Elms provide partial wheelchair access.

The mansions of Newport welcome you to explore and step back in time as you immerse yourself in the architecture and the treasures of each home. Listen for echoes of those who once glided down the majestic staircases. Delve into the everyday lives of the servants. Amble on the lawns overlooking the ocean. Walk through the formal gardens. Whether you have time for one or several of the homes, you’re sure to come away impressed.

Who Owns and Maintains the Gilded Age Mansions in Newport Now?

Newport County’s Preservation Society now owns eleven best-surviving examples of Gilded Age mansions in Newport, while Rough Point is the only mansion run by the Newport Restoration Foundation, which was founded by Doris Duke in 1968. 

Are the Newport Mansions Free?

Residents of the City of Newport can enjoy free admission to Newport Mansions when they are open for the Newport mansion tours. However, this excludes special events and specialty tours. Also, the Newport Mansions hours vary seasonally. 

How Newport Mansions Came to Be?

More than a century ago, during the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest families built mansions in the coastal enclave of Newport. Most renowned architects of the time, like Richard Morris Hunt, designed these shingle-style architecture and Gothic Revival Style landmarks. 

What Else Is There to Do When Visiting Mansions in Newport?

Strolling through downtown Newport, exploring the stunning Narragansett Bay, and doing the Newport Cliff Walk before seeing all the Newport mansions are some of the things to do here. Also, mansions in Newport host many amazing events, including the annual Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival.

How Many Mansions in Newport Were Torn Down?

After the social era died out, about 20 of these historic mansions were torn down before it was decided that these homes were an integral part of America’s architectural history. Some of them, like the historic Stonor Lodge on Bellevue Avenue, burned down in the fire.

The Newport Flower Show: “At Home”

The 2024 Newport Flower Show will be back at Rosecliff, its original home, with the theme of “At Home” – celebrating the variety of florals and horticulture that we enjoy in our own homes.

As visitors step into the foyer of Rosecliff, the air will be filled with the fragrances of abundant summer blooms. The enchanting exhibits will include an array of displays that showcase the relationship between flowers and the homes they beautify. The popular Botanical Arts division will include artists’ interpretations of items found in many homes: dolls, picture frames, the family dog and more.

After viewing the displays in the Salon, Ballroom and Dining Room, guests will step onto the Terrace to admire the Horticulture entries and then the oceanside back lawn to explore a beautiful central garden display including a cutting garden, home orchard and pollinator garden, along with ideas to create a picturesque setting for outdoor living.

Be sure to leave some time to browse the Marketplace, offering a variety of floral and plant options as well as home decor items for purchase.

“At Home” will be a celebration of the beauty that flowers and plants bring to the spaces we call home. Whether you’re a flower enthusiast, a gardening hobbyist or someone seeking inspiration for home decor, this show promises a feast for the senses and a unique perspective on the intersection of nature and your home, indoors and out.
