Rosecliff, built for silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs, symbolizes the opulence of the Gilded Age, featuring grand designs and lavish social events.
Commissioned in 1899, Rosecliff was completed in 1902 by architect Stanford White, serving as a summer home for the Bonanza Heiress known for her extravagant parties.
Oelrichs hosted notable guests and events, including a fairytale-themed dinner and a performance by magician Harry Houdini, showcasing the social vibrancy of the era.
Today, Rosecliff endures as a museum and event space, preserving the legacy of Newport's Gilded Age mansions for future generations.
