		George Vanderbilt “had intended building a small brown-shingled shooting box in the Blue Ridge Mountains; but Hunt was a spellbinder, with the result that George ended up with a French Renaissance chateau almost eight hundred feet in length” (Gil 134).
		When George’s older brother Cornelius sought out Richard Morris Hunt to design his summer cottage in Newport, Rhode Island, his request was also a simple one; Cornelius wanted a home where “the most important attribute would be that it was as fireproof as possible” (Gil 134).

		When George Vanderbilt saw Hunt’s plans for the house he was so pleased that he had a spur of railroad built to the site from Asheville to expedite the construction, and he imported hundreds of artisans from France to lay the walls and apply the ornament.
