Rosecliff, Gilded Age mansion in Newport, United States

The limestone mansion features a 40 by 80 feet ballroom with ornate details, marble columns, and French baroque revival architectural elements throughout its structure.

Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs commissioned architect Stanford White to design this residence in 1902, modeling it after the Grand Trianon at Versailles.

The mansion demonstrates Newport's social traditions through its grand ballroom, which held numerous society events and transformed into a roller skating rink.

The Preservation Society of Newport County maintains the estate, offering daily guided tours from 10 AM to 3 PM with self-guided audio options.

Films including The Great Gatsby and True Lies selected this mansion as their filming location due to its grand staircase and period architecture.
