- - This pleasure pavilion for summer entertaining pointedly, no - - - adequate heating was ever planned for other seasons was designed by : - - - Mc Kim, Mead & White for Mrs * Hermann Oelrichs and completed in 1902- -
1903. It is at the east ocean end of a long grassed lot, screened -. - -
by trees on its sides,. which runs. from Bellevue Avenue to the coastline - - cliffs. -Placed upon a white stone basement well stink into the ground, -- . -. the house is H-shaped the cross-bar quite extended in length and is of-
two apparent storeys in height; a large penthouse for servants is con- I
- cealed behind a balustrade. Construction is of steel and timber ------framing, brick-filled; and exterior facing is-of white moulded terra- 1 - - cotta intended to give the effect of polished carved marble. Black- n - - painted wrought iron is used for a glazed ornamental entrance marquise -
-. with hanging lanterns, for window grilles and for a southern stair- - .. - -
- landing balcony. - The somewhat gay and lively, but nevertheless forma- I - ta I - - lised and academic, exterior architectural detailing and rhythms of the - - ground floor are clearly copied from those of Louis XIV1s Grand Trianon - rn ;:. -. - -at Versailles. The-ground floor at Rosecliff is that of architectural --
* - parade, both inside and out, even though a floor above was required for - bedroom accommodatiàns. The latter, however, has been made quite sub- - - - * - ordinate on the exterior--treated almost as a continuous attic--especi- -- r . - - - - - ally as the-Grand Trianon ha no upper façade to copy or adapt. -- -
- -I -- A long U-shaped. drive leads from Belletue Avenue to and acrs the - - west, or entrance,- front of the house, which is eleven bays long. At - .. -- the centre the façade is indented, to a width of five bays and a depth - C of three, around a paved and green-planted garden court or terrace. A small circular pool with a fountain is across the drive from this, to: - - - the west; there is no other ornamental landscaping, though much was at -- - : - : first intended. Opening on this court are the five floor-length, - -: - -- round-headed windows of the main salon. Thethreecentral ones have a -: - - shallow portico-like enframement with four pairs of fluted Ionic co- -1:. -- - .-:; -- All lumns. Four low plinths above the columns carry sculptured putti. : "s - other first-storey openings around the house are enframed instead by ;-- -:j.: - H - - - - fluted Ionic pilasters and have-foliate swags in the spandrels--excpt -. - - for some minor flat-topped windows in the end bays which have wreathed cartouchesin panels above them.- On this west front the three northern II -
- -- - -. -. - - bays filling the Loot of the tt-H" have one central round-headed window
- and two smaller ones of the type just mentioned. This treatment is re- - -. -- tI}4;tI peated in the south foot of the- but here the central opening forms, - the main entrance, with double-doors of plate glass and iron grillework, sheltered by a bracketed marquise of the same materials. On the ocean
front a balustraded terrace with steps to a small lawn is brought well ------
- out from the house, whose centre here is indented to a depth of only one - -I.- - bay. The end elevations are each of eight bays, and: at the south end -there is -a two-storey rectangular projection taking up three of these- - - and containing the main stair with its tall, balconied wiMow which - -rises through the upper floor1level and is crowned by a cartouche. ------

- 7. Description. - - -
The second floor has much less height than the first one and is -
much more modest in architectural treatment. - The short casement windows -- are all rectangular, with moulded and slightly-eared architraves, and are - - -- - all centred above the larger openings below. Short, fluted Composite pi- -
- lasters held close to the wall surface repeat the placement of columns and -- and eaves cornicej above which runs a roof balus- pilasters below support an - : - trade which permits neither penthouse nor chimneys to be seen. ---
Entering under the marquise at the south-east corner, one passes into
a large vestibule and stair-hall area floored in marble and divided by a - - screen-wall -with tall openings in a Palladian-window arrangement separated by piers and columns. Wall and cornice ornamentation in this area is of --- -, moulded nlaster in a very adorned neo-classical style, with niches and - --
oculi for urns etc. East of the dividing screen the grand -stair sweeps up: --
-- it5 first flight protrudes much into the hall, the marble steps very wide - at the bottom- and with ah ogival front curve. Ascending, one reaches the - - -- - landing with its enormous window; there the stair divides into two narrower, --
- curving runs to reach a second-floor lobby; the whole is railed in wrought - - - iron of elaborate convolution and is reminiscent of stairs in the great - - --
Renaissance houses-of Paris. - .-
At ground level, to the east of the stair, a large door opens to a - --
- reception-room; opposite the stair and to the north is a similar entrance --
to the great central drawing-room. The reception-room fills the south-east -- - -
corner of the first floor and has a large, high chimneypiece of sculptured T: -
Caen? stone set upon a raised hearth platform of marble. Above a high, - panelled wainscot rise panelled pilasters with pendant reliefs of foliation; - - - - - the intervening wall spaces originally contained tapestries but are now - -i : - hung with brpcade. Above an elaborate cornice, with a band of foliate re- - -:
- lief below a prominent modillion course, there is a coffered ceiling. -
- - North of the stair and the reception-room, occupying the whole of the - - -: - -- - - five-bay centre of the house and with windows opening onto hoth the garden - court and the seaward terrace, is the drawing-room with its pgrquet de -- A- - - Versailles floor, highly-worked Louis XV wall treatment of Corinthiapi- i -
lasters, panels, window and door enframements with surmounting and - garlands ------car-touches. The ceiling is panelled and -compartmented in plaster relief, ------housing a large painted skyscape in its centre and a series of painted -- _! ------medallions of idyllic scenes in its perimeter.

7. Description. - - - A door to the right of this prominently-ornamented fireplace lets into a sitting-room taking up the north-east corner of this floor. Panelled in
- oak, this room has a much-carved mantel and chimneybreast adornment, again of ch&teau style. A door at the left end of the drawing-room opens into an ante-room which has a marble wall-fountain and which leads to the dining- -
-- room occupying the north-west corner of the building. This last room of the suite for entertaining has walls with rectangular panels formed by plaster mouldings the larger panels originally contained painted landscapes, moulded consoles in the surrounds of the windows and supporting the cornice, a very palace-like overmantel arrangement which includes a bust centred be-
£ ore an oval panel. - 41
- All of the downstairs salons display chandeliers and wall appliqus -- - incortorating gilt bronze, cut crystal, glass-bead festoons; there are also
standing torchres, gilt-bronze hardware, floors of parquetry, mirrored --
doors. A small section in the middle of the first floor’s north end con- -
tains service stairs, an elevator, and a pantry which is dependent upon ex- - tensive domestic offices located in the basement.
The second-floor contains nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms: three bedroom suites with their little hallways, clothes-presses etc. are at
each end of the house; another three suites are on the seaward side of a -
long, five-windowed gallery running between the two ends of the house. -- Dcor on this floor is formal hut vastly simpler than that below. Rooms 4 have plain or simply-panelled plastered wails in light colours though some
may originally have had toile or damask hangings;-door and window enfi’ame- - ments are plain; seven of the bedrooms have mantelpieces of various French 1. period styles which are the chief decorative features on this floor. -
Old photographs show Rosecliff to have been opulently over-draped -t I-. and over-furnished. The original furnishings--largely made especially - for the house, over-scaled and representing a succession of lavish Italian and French styles--are gone. -The furniture and ornaments now seen were all acquired for the house about twenty or twenty-five years ago and, while - --::--- including a number of antique items, are largely turn-of-the-century reI -- productions in French mn-Century styles and less ponderous. - --:. - -Q 1: I

Number all entries .8. Significance.
While the contents of the house to-day are not its original ones, the - furniture, rugs, draperies, ornaments etc. now to be seen were carefully -- chosen and placed to fit and to complement the rooms they fill; and the effect is a very good one--less lavish than formerly, but allowing the interior architecture itself to be better seen and admired.
After a long period of closure during which time Mrs.- Oelrichs., for whom it had been created, died, Rosecliff and its contents were sold at auction in the l9bO’s. The purchaser was a singing-entertainer not greatly known who exploited her sudden ownership of the house as a piece of person al publicity but who did not occupy, maintain or repair the property. A succeeding owner did undertake repair, complete redecoration and refurnish- ing in order to use Rosecliff as a summer home. He was killed en route - to his initial occupancy; the house was again emptied and again for sale.
Around 19h9-195O it was bought by Mr. J. Edgar Monroe, who once more re- -- - a, --
furbished and refurnished it. -
- - - Mr. and Mrs. Monroe used the house in summers until recently, but in -j: - 1971 they nresented it, with contents and an endowment, to The Preservation
Society of Newport County. It will be operated by ti-at group as a house- -
museum and can also be the setting--because of its great unobstructed - drawing-room--for concerts, halls, receptions; its upstairs suites remain
in ready condition to house official guests of the society, performThg -
artists etc. Chronologically, Rosecliff postdates the heavily-gilded os- - tentation of the society’s Marble House and The Breakers and relates more
closely to The Ems, of 1900, by Horace Trumbauer. But it is not a majes- - tic "h6tei particulier," complete with parterres, as is The Elms. It re
mains, and can be shown as, what it was intended to be--a glittering -- -
pleasure pavilion in the French taste.,- oriented upon its very fine ocean - - .-.: view. ----. H -----

- STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE - -
Rosecliff is a fine representative in NSport of thelater work of 4 - McKfr, Nead & White, who had executed earlier residential commissions, and the Casino, there--but all in either the Queen Anne or Colonial Re- - -í vival styles. This house shows he firm at work in the academic, neo- -z -- classical, and often eclectic or adaptive, manner for which they became
- widely known. With other documents of the firm, the original drawings -
for Rosecliff are at the New-York Historical Society. - It is also a
good representative of the house of desired formal appearance, planned - at the turn of the century especially fo frequent and elegañt’ehter- .taining according to the protocols of the era,and very often French -in architectural style and furnishings which in the 1900’s was wanted in - Newport, in New York City, Lenox, Morristown, Chestnut Hun, Lake Forest etc.
‘a: - Such houses were built less to house a family than - a to accommodate - large numbers of guest - to provide backgrounds for their graceful acti : vities, their gowns and jewels. -For this a grand entrance and/or stair,: a succession of salons, a dining-room of size, and a ballroom were ge nerally-required: these spaces and their contents should be as frposing and beautiful as possible, and so particularly when one could have a
freo-standing building should be the façades encasing them. - The,façades - could both please the arriving guests and alao inform the passing publicH - -- - of the grandeur of the occupants and events within. --- -
- _J--{ -
These requirements are fulfilled at Rosecliff, which mEy be con-.: - sidered one of the handsomest and least architecturally-’tinflated" bf Newport’s summer residences of the gilded age.- The exterior impresses one more by its formalised and controlled design admittedly copied,
but from an impeccable predecessor than by vastness of spread or - piling of mass. On the interior, spaces are arranged in a convenient
yet formal progression for social events and are well-lighted, high, - - --:-- - airy, light-coloured, and decorated with the taste for which Stanford White was famous. Particular, mention in this respect should be made of the entrance hail, th& central-drawing-room and the dining-room: these are some - of the most beautiful interiors :of their period in Newport. -
