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.
