Marble House

Marble House was built in 1888–1892 for William K. Vanderbilt and his wife Alva, to designs by Richard Morris Hunt inspired by the Petit Trianon at Versailles. The house uses about 14,000 cubic metres of marble; its gilded ballroom and the Chinese Tea House on the cliff-side lawn are part of the visit.
