Rough Point, English Manorial estate at Bellevue Avenue, Newport, United States.
This red sandstone and granite mansion contains 105 rooms overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with a garden designed by the Olmsted firm.
Frederick William Vanderbilt commissioned architects Peabody & Stearns to build this summer residence, completed in 1892 at significant construction costs.
The Newport Restoration Foundation maintains the mansion as a museum, displaying Doris Duke's collection of European furniture and decorative arts.
Visitors can explore the mansion from May through November, viewing preserved furnishings, annual exhibits of clothing, jewelry, and vintage artifacts.
During Hurricane Bob in 1991, the mansion's solarium served as a shelter for Doris Duke's Bactrian camels that resided on the property.
