DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL It known PNYSICAL APPEARANCE

- - This pleasure pavilion forsummer entertaining pointedly, no-

-- adequateheating was ever planned for other seasons was designed by : -

-- Mc Kim, Mead & White for Mrs * HermannOelrichs and completed in 1902- -

1903. It is at the east ocean end of a long grassedlot, screened -. - -

by trees on its sides,.which runs. from Bellevue Avenue to the coastline -

- cliffs. -Placed upon a white stone basementwell 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 iscon- 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 ornamentalentrance marquise -

-. with hanging lanterns, forwindow grilles and for a southern stair- - .. - -

landing balcony. - The somewhat gay and lively, but nevertheless forma- I --

- lised and academic, exterior architectural detailing and rhythms of the ta I -

-- 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 thefaçade 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-headedwindows of the main salon. Thethreecentral ones have a -: -

- - -- shallow portico-like enframementwith four pairs of fluted Ionic co- -1:. .-:; - -

lumns. Four low plinths above the columns carry sculpturedputti. All : "sother first-storey openingsaround the house are enframedinstead 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-headedwindow - -- - -.

- and two smaller ones of the type just mentioned. This treatment is re- - - . --

peated in the south foot of the- tI}4;tI but here the central opening forms, -

the main entrance, with double-doors ofplate glass and iron grillework,sheltered by a bracketed marquise of the same materials. On the oceanfront 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- bay. The end elevations are each of eight bays, and:at the south end -I.-

-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. - -- - - -

The second floor has much less height than the first one and is -

much more modest in architectural treatment. - The short casementwindows - -

Entering under the marquise at the south-east corner, one passesintoa large vestibule and stair-hall area floored in marble anddivided by a -

- screen-wall -with tall openings in a Palladian-window arrangementseparatedby piers and columns. Wall and cornice ornamentationin 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 sweepsup: - -

.8. Significance.

While the contents of the house to-day are not its original ones, the -

furniture, rugs, draperies, ornamentsetc. now to be seen were carefully - -

chosenand placed to fit and to complement the rooms they fill; and theeffect is a very good one--less lavish than formerly, but allowing theinterior architecture itself to be better seen and admired.

After a long period of closure during which time Mrs.- Oelrichs., forwhom it had been created, died, Rosecliff and its contents were sold atauction in the l9bO’s. The purchaserwas a singing-entertainer not greatlyknown who exploited her sudden ownership of the house as a piece of personal publicity but who did not occupy, maintain or repair the property. Asucceedingowner did undertake repair, complete redecoration and refurnish-ing in order to use Rosecliff as a summerhome. He was killed en route - tohis 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- - -

furbished and refurnished it. -

Mr. and Mrs. Monroe used the house in summers until recently, but in1971 they nresented it, with contents and an endowment, to The PreservationSociety of Newport County. It will be operatedby ti-at group as a house- -

museum and can also be the setting--becauseof its great unobstructed -

drawing-room--for concerts, halls, receptions; its upstairs suites remainin ready condition to house official guests of the society, performThg -

artists etc. Chronologically, Rosecliff postdatesthe heavily-gilded os- -

tentation of the society’s Marble House and The Breakers and relates moreclosely to The Ems, of 1900, by Horace Trumbauer. Butit is not a majes- -

tic "h6tei particulier," complete with parterres, as is The Elms. It remains, 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 -----

Rosecliff is a fine representative in NSport of thelater work ofMcKfr, Nead & White, who had executedearlier residential commissions,and the Casino, there--but all in either the Queen Anne or Colonial Re-

- -ívival styles. This house shows he firm at work in the academic, neo-

-- classical, and often eclectic or adaptive, mannerfor which they becamewidely known. With other documentsof the firm, the original drawings -

for Rosecliff are at the New-York Historical Society. - It is also agood 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 -inarchitectural style and furnishings which in the 1900’s was wanted inNewport, in New York City, Lenox, Morristown, ChestnutHun, LakeForest etc.

Such houseswere built less to house a family than to accommodate- large numbers of guest - to provide backgroundsfor their graceful acti

: vities, their gowns and jewels. -For this a grand entrance and/or stair,:a successionof salons, a dining-room of size, and a ballroom were generally-required: these spaces and their contents should be as frposingand beautiful as possible, and so particularly when one could have afreo-standing building should be the façades encasing them. - The,façades

- could both pleasethe arriving guests and alao inform the passing publicH -

- - - of the grandeur of the occupantsand events within. --- -

These requirementsare fulfilled at Rosecliff, which mEy be con-.:sidered one of the handsomestand least architecturally-’tinflated" bfNewport’s summer residencesof the gilded age.- The exterior impressesone 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 arrangedin a convenientyet formal progression for social events and are well-lighted, high, -

airy, light-coloured, and decoratedwith the taste for which StanfordWhite was famous. Particular, mention in this respect should be made ofthe entrance hail, th& central-drawing-room and the dining-room: theseare some - of the most beautiful interiors :of their period in Newport. -
