Commissioned by Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs in 1899, architect Stanford White modeled Rosecliff after the Grand Trianon, the garden retreat of French kings at Versailles. After the house was completed in 1902, at a reported cost of $2.5 million, Mrs. Oelrichs hosted fabulous entertainments here, including a fairy tale dinner and a party featuring famed magician Harry Houdini.
"Tessie", as she was known to her friends, was born in Virginia City, Nevada. Her father, James Graham Fair, was an Irish immigrant who made an enormous fortune from Nevada's Comstock silver lode, one of the richest silver finds in history. During a summer in Newport, Theresa met Hermann Oelrichs playing tennis at the Newport Casino. They were married in 1890.
A year later, they purchased the property known as Rosecliff from the estate of historian and diplomat George Bancroft. An amateur horticulturist, Bancroft grew thousands of roses at Rosecliff and his gardens along the Cliff Walk were famous. The Oelrichs later bought additional property along Bellevue Avenue and commissioned Stanford White to replace the original house with the mansion that became the setting for many of Newport's most lavish parties. Rosecliff is now preserved through the generosity of its last private owners, Mr. and Mrs. J. Edgar Monroe, of New Orleans. They gave the house, its furnishings, and an endowment to the Preservation Society in 1971.
Scenes from several films have been shot on location at Rosecliff, including The Great Gatsby, True Lies, Amistad and 27 Dresses.
Encargada por la heredera de plata de Nevada, Theresa Fair Oelrichs, en 1899, el arquitecto Stanford White modeló Rosecliff a partir del Gran Trianón, el jardín de retiro de los reyes franceses en Versalles. Después de que se completó la casa en 1902, a un precio de $ 2,5 millones de dólares, la Sra. Oelrichs organizó espectáculos fabulosos aquí, incluida una cena de cuento de hadas y una fiesta con el famoso mago Harry Houdini.
"Tessie", como la conocían sus amigos, nació en Virginia City, Nevada. Su padre, James Graham Fair, era un inmigrante irlandés que hizo una enorme fortuna con la veta de plata de Comstock en Nevada, uno de los hallazgos de plata más ricos de la historia. Durante un verano en Newport, Theresa conoció a Hermann Oelrichs jugando al tenis en el Newport Casino. Se casaron en 1890.
Un año después, compraron la propiedad conocida como Rosecliff propiedad del historiador y diplomático George Bancroft. Bancroft, horticultor aficionado, cultivó miles de rosas en Rosecliff y sus jardines a lo largo de Cliff Walk eran famosos. Más tarde, los Oelrich compraron propiedades adicionales a lo largo de Bellevue Avenue y encargaron a Stanford White que reemplazara la casa original con la mansión que se convirtió en el escenario de muchas de las fiestas más lujosas de Newport. Rosecliff ahora se conserva gracias a la generosidad de sus últimos propietarios privados, el Sr. y la Sra. J. Edgar Monroe, de Nueva Orleans. Dieron la casa, sus muebles y una dotación a la Preservation Society en 1971.
Se han rodado escenas de varias películas en Rosecliff, incluidas El gran Gatsby, Mentiras verdaderas, Amistad y 27 vestidos.
