Description	Rough Point (680 Bellevue Avenue) was built in 1888-1891 for Frederick W. Vanderbilt by the architectural firm Peabody & Stearns; the landscape designer was Frederick Law Olmsted. The English manorial-style estate overlooking the Cliff Walk and Atlantic Ocean was purchased by William B. Leeds in 1906; following his death in 1908 the estate passed to Mr. Leeds's widow, who in 1922 sold Rough Point to industrialist and philanthropist James Buchanan Duke. The estate was then owned by Doris Duke, the daughter of Mr. Duke and his second wife, Nanaline. In keeping with Miss Duke's wishes, Rough Point passed to the Newport Restoration Foundation following her death, with the stipulation that it be turned into a museum and opened to the public. At present (2012), the estate is open for tours. Source: Newport Restoration Foundation, http://www.newportrestoration.org/visit/rough_point/history_architecture
