The Breakers

This is the back lawn of The Breakers. This is my favorite view of this monstrous summer home.

The view from the side isn't bad either

This is the main entrance, accessible from Ochre Point Avenue

The Elms

This view is of the rear of The Elms from the huge back lawn

This is a closeup of the main entrance, accessible from Bellevue Avenue

Amazing view of the gardens and back lawn

This could be you coming down the steps when you come to town and take some Newport mansion tours.

Rear entrance

Marble House

Main entrance of the amazing Marble House, accessible from Bellevue Avenue.

Closeup of the main entrance and towering pillars

Back lawn and terrace (great spot for a cocktail party!)

My artistic ability ends with stick figures, so needless to say, I'm always impressed by this type of detailed work.

Chinese Tea House

on the back lawn, overlooking the Newport Cliff Walk

The Tea House started off much closer to the cliffs, but was moved back to this location in 1977.

This is another great spot with a great view for a cocktail party or business meeting.

Rosecliff

The main entrance of Rosecliff, accessible from Bellevue Avenue

Closeup of the front. Right inside, in the ballroom, is where Arnold Schwarzenneger and Tia Carrere did the tango the movie True Lies.

I wouldn't mind strolling down these steps every morning with my cup of coffee.....

.....and enjoying this view of the Newport Cliff Walk and Atlantic Ocean

This is the rear of the mansion, where the terrace hosts many wedding receptions and cocktail parties during the summer season.

Astors' Beechwood

Main entrance of Astors' Beechwood mansion, accessible from Bellevue Avenue.

Always colorful flowers around the fountain

View of the rear terrace and the lawn

This terrace also hosts many events throughout the summer season

Another breathtaking view of the Newport Cliff Walk

You can even access it from here during the day

Rough Point

At the end of Bellevue Avenue, you'll find Rough Point, the former home of tobacco heiress Doris Duke.

This is a tribute to the real camels that Doris used to keep on her back lawn

The scene of the crime. This is where Doris "accidentally" ran over and killed her interior decorator, Eduardo J. Tirella, in 1966.

Ochre Court

Part of the Salve Regina University campus, Ochre Court is accessible from Ochre Point Avenue.

View from the back lawn
