Front view of The Breakers mansion,Situated in expensive care ground,one side Atlantic ocean.I could feel cold sea breeze and heard chirpping of birds.The front yard was’t overcrowded. We walked on predefined cemented footpath.They checked tickets and scanned. We got two mobile guides with head sets. The breakers mansion received us with her red carpet and audio guide. I felt more crowd than outside. The luxurious hall way gave a warm welcome.
We could see some areas are seperated with ropes,where no access to visitors. Each and every part of buildng was handcrafted,beautiful shapes,colours,silver,brass,sometimes gold.The floor was mostly made of wood,granite,marble. Today The breakers are preserved by a society named Preservation society of Newport county since 75 years.For further reference https://www.newportmansions.org/explore/the-breakers
