Rosecliff mansion overlooks Cliff Walk and the Atlantic Ocean. The mansion was commissioned in 1889 by a Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs and was designed by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White in the fashion of the Grand Trianon at Versailles. You will find Newport's largest ballroom at Rosecliff, which became a place of lavish Newport parties. It is the location for motion picture filming including the 1994 True Lies and The Great Gatsby.
