My Son received the National Sportsmanship Award for tennis at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport about 20 years ago. We were lucky enough to attend a dinner at The Breakers along with all the greats. Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, McEnroe, Edberg, Borg and even Prince Albert of Monaco. It was truly a night I will never forget!!

Wow, what an amazing experience that must’ve been!

[@aplacky]

Just visited as a tourist. Congratulations to your son. He earned a unique distinction. Im pretty sure i will never dine at the breakers. Hoping Red Lobster.

Thank You very much for this wonderful tale of history. 💝💖

Aaaah The Breakers. Your opening picture I knew in a heartbeat. I'm not gilded but lived in Newport for a year then 6 years in a Victorian in Portsmouth. Aquidneck Island as it is known differs from the mainland by being magical!

Buying a ticket to watch rich people have a party is crazy lol

[@bigd4746]

Very nice and beautiful pictures.

Your elocution and diction is almost flawless and very easy on the ears. Thank you so much for not using music to distract from the lovely musicality of your voice. I enjoy your videos very much, and your charming voice even more! 😊

[@lavishhistory9751]

Thank you so much! You are very kind!

Oh, what fun, that was ❤❤

[@rachelbachel2]

Subbed. I'm glad the KZbin algorithm introduced me to your channel

[@maribelclassen990]

Love the video!!!! Very well done.👍

[@dolivier]

I live in Rhode Island and this mansion there is amazing you like your 5 or 6 of them. They are amazing ❤😊The Breakers are haunted by the ghost of the Husband and wife. I piece of advice if you go on the Cliff Walk be safe, it can be tricky.

[@bsota8513]

Thanks. Sounds interesting.

[@fatboy7223]

Love the 🆕 video ❤❤😊

[@lavishhistory9751]

Thank you!

[@Tuckerz5d]

Interesting, thanks!

[@LJB103]

Excellent and informative video. The photo at 1:08 is Narragansett, RI and not Newport. The photo at 3:22 is the ballroom of Whitehall (Flagler) in Palm Beach.

[@jilltagmorris]

Thanks ❤😊

[@130crowd]

At 1:12, you make an error in showing a painted photograph of The Towers in Narragansett, RI while describing it as Newport. Upsets the locals! It would be great to credit the art you display with the artists’ names and dates. Many homes were shown with no description or date at all. And, please learn the correct pronunciations!

[@Richardsonprincess00]

Hopefully to show the Hamptons (in Long Island) soon.

[@yvonneplant9434]

Thank you for mentioning Philadelphia as being the home of some prominent people during the Gilded Age. Hence the desire for summer homes mattered to them!! Phila. often gets ignored wrt the Gilded Age because of its proximity to NYC. Nevermind that Philadelphian George Widener was the richest American at the time of his death on the Titanic in 1912.

❤❤❤❤

[@juneHouse-j8i]

Regrettably, many of the images shown here are not from Newport.

[@peterpicard4028]

Nice video, but please make narration less sing-songy...phew

[@bsota8513]

Sounds AI.

[@mayraechemendia1687]

Omg please have a new person narrate this her voice is scary and annoying I wanted to hear it all but she was too much and scary to listen to

[@bsota8513]

AI I'm sure.

[@mlaine2]

Pleasant voice, but too much up talk. Every sentence sounds like a question 🙄

[@bsota8513]

AI

[@CPAndy-x5x]

Nauseating that people were so rich while so many others were so poor. Income taxes fixed that.

[@davidharris7235]

Nothing has changed

[@bsota8513]

I hate ai narration.
