Newport, Rhode Island, discovered by New York society in the Gatsby era, still enthralls. Beechwood, the former Astor estate, entertained Manhattan glitterati for decades. A spectacular testament to the Gilded Age, it is the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. William Backhouse Astor, Jr. and one of the most prominent estates in American social history.

The magnificent Italianate mansion was originally built in 1851 by Calvert Vaux. The Astors purchased Beechwood in 1881 and hired architect Richard Morris Hunt to take the mansion to new heights of refinement and luxury. Beechwood appeared in High Society, starring Fred Astaire and Grace Kelly; and Cole Porter is reported to have written the song Night and Day while visiting there. The storied estate is now available for purchase and is offered at $14.9 million through Lila Delman Real Estate and Christie’s Great Estates.
