History
Marble House is a Gilded Age mansion located at 596 Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. It was built from 1888 to 1892 as a summer cottage for Alva and William Kissam Vanderbilt and was designed by Richard Morris Hunt in the Beaux Arts style. It was unparalleled in opulence for an American house when it was completed in 1892. Its temple-front portico has been compared to that of the White House.
