Fairholme, Gilded Age mansion in Newport, US.
The Tudor Revival mansion spans 24,393 square feet with 15 bedrooms, featuring formal gardens and 425 feet of water frontage along the Rhode Island coast.
Philadelphia architect Frank Furness built Fairholme in 1875 for arts patron Fairman Rogers before banker John R. Drexel expanded it at the century's turn.
The estate represents the architectural legacy of Newport's wealthy summer residents, with its grand foyer, ballroom, and library reflecting their refined social practices.
Located on Ruggles Avenue near The Breakers, the property includes a separate guest house, swimming pool, and elevator to accommodate modern living requirements.
Unlike many Newport mansions converted into museums, Fairholme maintains its original purpose as a private residence, selling for 16.1 million dollars in 2016.
