Description

Rosecliff is a Gilded Age mansion open to the public as a historic house museum. Known as the Hermann Oelrichs House or the J. Edgar Monroe House, architect Stanford White modeled the mansion after the Grand Trianon of Versailles, but smaller and reduced to a basic 'H' shape, while keeping Mansart's scheme of a glazed arcade of arched windows and paired Ionic pilasters, which increase to columns across the central loggia.
