'Lost Gilded age Mansions of Newport' Webinar
Friday, March 8
8:00 PM - 9:30 PM
While Newport, Rhode Island still contains a collection of mega mansions from over a century ago, a great many — from French inspired chateaux and Italian Palazzos to English Manors and even some castles — are gone and long forgotten. That's because by the 1930s, many were already neglected and boarded up by their descendants, who weren't interested in assuming the costly expenses of then out-of-fashion residences. What are the stories behind these magnificent properties destroyed by fire, demolition, and abandonment? And who were the original owners who once called them home?
Presented in association with The New York Adventure Club, join us as we uncover the compelling history of some of Newport's most spectacular private properties that are no longer standing.
