    I toured that place when I was like 10 years old in 1980. Hell of a way to live.

    Can you imagine what those that enjoyed this lifestyle would speak about the hurried and almost antiseptic in design lifestyle we have today?
    Thank you for the tour. I would truly enjoy visiting it myself someday. 😊

    I think of all the people who built these houses and how they kept builders and architects, and artist working, not to mention all the staff it took to keep these places looking their best. Giving people work is some of the best things you can do for people to earn a living and build homes of their own even if they are not as grand as this.

    Vanderbilts still live in the top floor. In the 1980s, a friend of my parents, who knew the Vanderbilts, invited me to accompany him on his annual visit to the Breakers. I foolishly said no and I live to regret they decision.

    Wow that was spectacularly viewed in this video!❤So to keep the beauty of this artful up is worth doing giving tours for others who appreciate the artist’s depth that knows no bounds! Definitely worthy for a trip including this wonder of the Breakers mansion! Your music and narration is also very smoothly perfect 👌.😁

      Yes, you have a wonderful speaking voice, just perfect for this type of narration, but going a little slower would really use it to it's maximum potential.
