FILE - In this Nov. 12, 2001 file photo, visitors take advantage of free admission to tour The Breakers mansion in Newport, R.I. Neighbors of The Breakers estate in Newport are suing to block a new welcome center that's planned for the site of the mansion, built in the Gilded Age by the Vanderbilts, then one of the nation's most prominent and wealthy families. The neighborhood association filed the lawsuit Friday, March 7, 2014 in Newport Superior Court against the Preservation Society of Newport County, which owns several mansions in this seaside tourist town, operating them as museums. The 70-room Breakers, a national historic landmark, is its crown jewel and draws 400,000 visitors annually. The group wants to build the center on the 13-acre grounds of the mansion to provide visitors with services, including ticketing, accessible restrooms and prepared sandwiches.(AP Photo/Stew Milne, File)
