Rough Point, the oceanfront Newport estate of heiress Doris Duke, has been a private home since it was completed in 1891 for Frederick Vanderbilt, the first of its owners. Opened as a museum in 2000, rought Point features a remarkable collection of European paintings, oriental porcelains, and decorative arts. This book provides insight into the diverse collections that Doris duke assembled over many decades, the house that her parents remodeled so immaculately, and the splendid setting that Frederick Vanderbilt originally chose for this Newport retreat.
