Bois Doré, 1927 mansion in Newport, United States.
The limestone mansion features twenty-three bedrooms, fourteen bathrooms, and an eighty-five-foot grand hall connecting its east and west wings.
William Fahnestock, an investment banker, commissioned architect Charles A. Platt to build this residence, which was completed in 1927.
The dining room displays trompe l'œil murals painted directly on walls by artist Martin Battersby, depicting characters from the French court.
Located at 115 Narragansett Avenue, the 19,000-square-foot property includes a 2,000-square-foot ballroom with an antique Regency chandelier.
The mansion's French name, meaning gilded wood, comes from the linden trees that line its entrance driveway.
