Rosecliff, one of the most recognizable mansions on Newport’s Bellevue Avenue, stands as a testament to the Gilded Age. Built around 1900 for Theresa Fair Oelrichs, a Nevada silver heiress, the mansion was designed with grand parties in mind, evoking the opulence of The Great Gatsby, and even served as a filming location for the 2013 adaptation. Visitors today can explore the Versailles-inspired interiors and stroll through the historic rose gardens, immersing themselves in the elegance of a bygone era.
