Part 11/12:
Today, Miramar stands resilient amid Newport’s historic landscape. Though no longer a private residence, it captures the magnificence and tragedy of America’s Gilded Age aristocracy. Unlike some luxury mansions that succumbed to neglect, Miramar remains a testament to craftsmanship, ambition, and loss.
Its story is a reminder that behind the grandeur often lies a poignant human narrative—of dreams built and shattered, of resilience amid loss. The mansion’s history invites us to reflect on the fleeting nature of wealth and beauty, echoing Agatha Christie's words about the peril of embracing superficial treasures.
