Above is a picture of the baronial dining room at "Marble House", the Alva Belmont cottage in Newport RI. This magnificent room was inspired by the Salon d'Hercule at Versailles and was designed by Jules Allard. It is equal in size to that of the ballroom across the hall. "Marble House" is now owned by the Preservation Society of Newport County.
This is what a townhouse looks like...!
23 Gramercy Park South last year for $18.5 million. The buyers of the 27-foot-wide landmark were Colombian heir Andrés Santo Domingo and his wife, socialite and Vogue contributor Lauren Santo Domingo. Apparently they weren't completely satisfied with their purchase, because the house is about to undergo a serious renovation.
