Marble House was built between 1888 and 1892 for Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt and the home of ACBL Hall of Fame member Harold Vanderbilt who is recognized as the inventor of contract bridge. It was a summer "cottage", as Newporter's called them in remembrance of the modest houses of the early 19th century. But Marble House was much more; it was a social and architectural landmark that set the pace for Newport's subsequent transformation from a quiet summer colony of wooden houses to the legendary resort of opulent stone palaces.
