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
