Rosecliff

Rosecliff is modeled on the Grand Trianon at Versailles, but was meant to be even more lavish in layout and decor.

 

 

Another famous New England architect, Stanford White, built Rosecliff in 1902 for Mrs Hermann Oelrichs, whose father had made a fortune in the Comstock Lode of the California Gold Rush.

Its ballroom is the largest one in Newport, and the mansion is still used for summer entertainment.
