40 years ago as an 11 year old I was dragged thru this estate by my parents. I had no appreciation for it at that age. This video tour has jogged my memory a bit and now, at 51, I get it. Truly an amazing piece of architectural history.

I toured this house when I was 12 years old and it changed my life. There is a level of magnificence encompassed within this house that goes beyond just the materials and artistry of which it was made. I’m 46 now and have toured many grand buildings, homes, churches and palaces, but none of them create an experience akin to The Breakers. It’s as though the home somehow encompasses the Ocean by day and the stars at night and is a testament to human ability and ingenuity. I’m so glad The Newport Preservation Society still takes such great care of this masterpiece. And, this tour is the best I’ve ever seen online. Great job!

I first went to Newport in 1975, and some of the tour staff then (very old ) were descendants of the staff that actually lived in the house (wonderful stories). Thank you for your tour; it was great. I learned so much from you that I never knew about the Breakers! T.Y.

At the numbers provided, we are at about $3600 per house sq ft when including land and furnishings. $1M - which is more than most people spend on a house - would get you about 275 sq ft. The house alone without land and furnishings would be $2268 per sq ft. That gets you 440 sq ft for $1M. I don't disagree with the thoughts or need for emotion and transcendental beauty, etc. Nor do I believe that constantly going bigger is a great thing. So I do what I can. And, of course, I enjoy watching videos like this and visiting places like this when I can.

I grew up a home built 1926. It was built by Evelyn Huffman - Patterson and was a replica of a Nuremburg castle. We purchased the 24,000 sqft home from the St. Mary’s Educational Institute in Cincinnati as it was their convent. It is nearly as ornate. That boiler room brings back some childhood memories. My mother did a wonderful of job of decorating the home in a style for it's age. Prior to selling the home, it became the Dayton Philharmonic designer home showcase. Since that time it has had several owners. I shutter to think what the home looks like inside these days. Last photos taken of the home after the last owner was pretty awful. Leopard print runner the spiral grand staircase with large squares of black and gold painted on the walls. The kitchen painted neon green with balloons. I often think of just showing up there and asking to see it. I afraid of what I might find. All childhood memories wiped away, modernized and sanitized.

I thought the title was click bait until I heard "The Breakers." I've toured The Breakers a few times and it is a marvel. First, shout out to the video production and animations of the Vanderbilt family and the environment at the beginning. I guess that's some sort of AI animation? Really impressive! I think, as Erik mentions, that there is an incredibly strong argument that this is "the pinnacle home in America." The scale of this behometh and method of acquiring the means to build such a property is quintessentially American. Indeed, like the Pyramids of Giza, the incredible scale and workmanship almost allows me to forgive the economic suffering this level of wealth required to build these monuments to excess.

Hi Erik. I really love your landmark series and I think this one is the best by far. Incredible to see what wealth could build in the 1800s & early 1900s. The most iconic estates are from that area. Hope to see the Biltmore Estate and the Greystone mansion presented like this for all to see the great architectural designs from that area

The cinematography in this video is absolutely breathtaking! The angles and lighting perfectly capture the elegance of the mansion. Great work. Your explanation throughout the tour was so informative and engaging. You gave historical insights without making it feel overwhelming. Loved it. Amazing narration! You really brought the history of this Gilded Age masterpiece to life. Thank you for sharing the stories behind the architecture.

Well-done Erik! All the Vanderbilts knew how to enjoy their money and were great builders. Cornelius II's sister in-law (Alva) was said to be happy when she was "knee deep in mortar" and her Marble House is another Hunt masterpiece just down Belview Avenue from the Breakers. Keep in mind, Cornelius and Alice also had the largest house in NYC when the 1 West 57th street home was there. It was another Richard Morris Hunt mansion (the Vanderbilts "go to" architect). It was demolished in 1926 and now the Bergdorf Goodman store. Another beautiful and THE largest private home in America was built by Cornelius's younger brother George W in Asheville NC--Biltmore House. Hopefully you can get there and do a nice video at Biltmore House. At the time of Alice & Cornelius moving into the Breakers--it was said that all the grandchildren of the Commodore Vanderbilt were worth at least $800M at a time when there was no income tax and the most expensive bespoke suit made for a gentleman in Savile Row was $100. That % of wealth has never been seen since (even some of the billionaires today don't have that % of wealth and buying power). Great job--keep up the wonderful historical homes. Sadly, we have lost that dedication to art and architecture to quick-profit and cheaply built homes.

What a great experience to be able to see the interior of this extraordinary house. I love that someone like you gives visibility to great historical places, unfortunately a lot of work is still needed to raise awareness in society about the importance of preserving these great buildings that leave us with great learning. I send you a big greeting from Colombia and I would like to see you do an episode about Lynnewood Hall in the future.

Truely incredible and it’s awesome to know these are accessible to the public to visit. I had to search where this is in the US and looks like there’s other grand estates to visit around there… I’ll have to dedicate a US trip solely for this area to check those publicly accessible out
