NEWPORT, R.I. — At the height of the Gilded Age, Newport, R.I., was
the summer playground of America's wealthy. The Astors, the Vander-
bilts, and the Wideners all built their summer “cottages”— some of the
most opulent mansions in the hemisphere — along Bellevue Avenue.
One such mansion has been under the careful stewardship of Jeff
Ward who has been property manager and building engineer for going
on a decade.
“I don't know how I ended up here!” Ward said.
