Beaulieu House, Newport, Victorian estate in Newport, United States
The Beaulieu House stands on Bellevue Avenue with sixteen bedrooms, a library, a billiard room, and staff quarters overlooking Narragansett Bay.
Federico Barreda, a Peruvian merchant who accumulated wealth through guano trade, commissioned architect Calvert Vaux to build this mansion in 1859.
The residence became central to Newport's social circles when John Jacob Astor III purchased it and changed its name from Barreda Villa to Beaulieu.
While the mansion remains a private residence without public access, visitors can view its exterior architecture from Bellevue Avenue throughout the year.
Ambassador Wiley Buchanan Jr acquired the property for $100,000 in 1961 and added an extensive porch to host diplomatic gatherings.
