Construction on a new visitor’s center on the grounds of The Breakers mansion in Newport could begin in just weeks. But fans of the Newport mansion are taking up a fresh volley against the project.
The Breakers is owned and operated by the Preservation Society of Newport County, alongside 10 other historic properties. The nonprofit says its mission is to “protect, preserve, and present an exceptional collection of house museums and landscapes in one of the most historically intact cities in America.”
