Chateau Sur Mer is one of the first mansions of the Gilded Age in Newport, Rhode Island. Completed in 1852. It was about half the size of the others, "only" 30,000 square feet. LOL The owner was a merchant in the Old China Trade and was born in 1801.
This was the back porch. The really cool thing about this door is you can enter in the house, but you're not "really" in the house yet. There were double doors.
Every corner of this room has these built ins.
Not only is this the original wallpaper, it was taken down, strengthen and put back!
