A Guide to Newport's Cliff Walk: Tales of Seaside Mansions & the Gilded Age Elite (History & Guide)
- Used Book in Good Condition
From the grand majesty of the Breakers to the beautiful proportions of Rosecliff, these houses are enduring reminders of the architectural flowering of the Gilded Age.
Where the salty air mingles with the far-off laughter of women in ball gowns, the houses of the Newport Cliff Walk preside in grandeur over the crashing waves below. Walking along the paved trail, itâ€™s easy to imagine the faintest hint of a waltz coming from the windows of Beechwood, or to envision the Duchess of Windsorâ€™s carriage arriving for a visit at Fairholme. Ed Morris takes you on a tour of twenty-four historic mansions and landmarks, entertaining along the way with tales of splendor and style, social maneuvering and matchmaking.
