Bellevue Avenue Historic District
Bellevue Avenue Historic District, National Historic Landmark district in Newport, United States.
Bellevue Avenue Historic District extends for two miles from Memorial Boulevard to Bailey's Beach, featuring residential mansions with elaborate architectural details and gateways.
The district's development began in the 1830s when wealthy families constructed summer residences, leading to its National Historic Landmark designation in 1976.
The district contains numerous mansions designed by prominent architects Richard Morris Hunt, Horace Trumbauer, and McKim, Mead & White during America's Gilded Age.
Several former estates within the district, including The Breakers and Marble House, operate as museums and remain accessible for public tours throughout the year.
