Rosecliff is a Gilded Age mansion of Newport, Rhode Island, now open to the public as a historic house museum. The house has also been known as the Hermann Oelrichs House or the J. Edgar Monroe House. It was built 1898–1902 by Theresa Fair Oelrichs, a silver heiress from Nevada, whose father James Graham Fair was one of the four partners in the Comstock Lode. She was the wife of Hermann Oelrichs, American agent for Norddeutscher Lloyd steamship line.

dbo:abstract
  • Rosecliff Mansion ist ein ehemaliges großbürgerliches Wohnhaus im Beaux-Arts-Stil in Newport, Rhode Island, das heute als Museum zugänglich ist. Es wurde von 1898 bis 1902 nach Entwurf des Architekten Stanford White als Sommersitz für die Silberminen-Erbin Theresa Fair Oelrichs und ihren Ehemann Hermann Oelrichs erbaut, die das Anwesen Rosecliff aus dem Nachlass des 1891 verstorbenen George Bancroft erworben hatten. Das Anwesen kam als Vermächtnis in den 1970er Jahren in das Eigentum der Newport County Preservation Society. Das vom Grand Trianon inspirierte, aber auch von palladianischen Stilelementen geprägte Gebäude verfügt über ein herzförmiges Treppenhaus und den größten Ballsaal Newports. 1974 diente es als glanzvolle Filmkulisse für die Romanverfilmung Der große Gatsby mit Robert Redford. Ferner diente der Ballsaal auch als Drehort im Film True Lies mit Arnold Schwarzenegger. (de)

She and her husband, together with her sister, Virginia Fair, bought the land in 1891 from the estate of George Bancroft and commissioned the architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White to design a summer home suitable for entertaining on a grand scale. With little opportunity to channel her considerable energy elsewhere, she "threw herself into the social scene with tremendous gusto, becoming, with Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and Mrs. O.H.P. Belmont (of nearby Belcourt), one of the three great hostesses of Newport." The principal architect, Stanford White, modeled the mansion after the Grand Trianon of Versailles, but smaller and reduced to a basic "H" shape, while keeping Mansart's scheme of a glazed arcade of arched windows and paired Ionic pilasters, which increase to columns across the central loggia. White's Rosecliff adds to the Grand Trianon a second storey with a balustraded roofline that conceals the set-back third storey, containing twenty small servants' rooms and the pressing room for the laundry.
