Touring The Rosecliff Mansion, Newport, Rhode Island

[@jeanberard2078]

Love them all. I have lived in RI all my life. Thank goodness for the preservation society. These mansions are irreplaceable. I never get tired of seeing them. Lovely location.

[@PierreRepooc]

Couldn’t agree with you more on all your comments. Thanks.

[@franklesser5655]

A lost era when people lived so much more elegantly!

[@TheHk1966]

One of my ancestors built this…Hermann Oelrichs.. it is so cool parts of the 1974 adaptation of The Great Gatsby were filmed here as I enjoyed that book in high school

[@lisacassar7040]

Great Narration. Beautiful view & so informative. Not the typical robot voice. I wish that you had Mrs Huguette Clark. I could visit these here any time. Sure takes away my job blahs to go back in time w elegance sophistication

[@PierreRepooc]

Many thanks, Pierre.

Gorgeous video was not able to see this one the last time it was closed going soon its so beautiful !!!!

[@PierreRepooc]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and will soon be able to take it all in, in person.

[@WildWestGal]

Very nice video, excellent music background. I enjoyed "the tour"!

[@PierreRepooc]

Thanks for your lovely comment.

[@jameslong6329]

I was there to see it & other Mansions in the summer of 1984!!!

[@peggooo]

you put together excellent videos in every way. such a pleasure to watch!

[@PierreRepooc]

Many thank for your kind comments.

[@rhondabitler2461]

Had the privilege of seeing this mansion.

[@RM12600]

I love your videos, you put them together so well. As a student of the Gilded Age it is amazing to get a better look at these insane “cottages”

[@PierreRepooc]

I love viewers like you. Thanks for the “Tip of the Hat”.

[@ruthgoebel723]

Lovely!

Just 2 notes: Jim Fair died before building his Nob Hill mansion in San Francisco so his daughters Tessie and Virginia (Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr) built the Fairmont Hotel instead. Rosecliff has the largest ballroom in Newport.

Thanks LJ

1898 - 1902 "Stanford White, Architect", (tragic death by shooting by a jealous husband or boyfriend, the guy had to be nuts as it was premeditated and done in a prestigious restaurant, tragic waste of a really talented Man). White was one of the more prominent Architects of his time and known for his works for NYC. He was well traveled and well studied in Design, hmost innovative re-crafting of European Architecture in NY, helping to raise the bar and bring Class to NYC.

Such fine taste..

[@mikec7176]

Nice video, but you forgot to mention that the movie, The Great Gatsby,was filmed there!

[@PierreRepooc]

You are absolutely right The Great Gatsby was filmed at Rosecliff. I’m glad you mentioned it. Thanks.

[@mosesivan9971]

Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother during the lockdown xD

[@nickolaslayne1759]

@Moses Ivan definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

Her husband led the American branch of the German Oehlrich family, which built the North German Lloyd shipping line into a global business which still thrives. In America, the name is pronounced simply ol-rick. Their ships rivaled and competed with the Hamburg-America Line, White Star, and Cunard in the glamorous north Atlantic passenger trade.

[@PierreRepooc]

Interesting comment. Thanks.

Thank you very much for that important information. Regards!

Que hermosa gusto y refinamiento insuperable. Y diseño esquisito

[@PierreRepooc]

Si. Mas de un sigle de antiguedad perso todavia hermoso.

[@thhomasppp]

"The Betsy" w Lawrence Olivier was filmed here in 1978

[@a.b.4052]

What would it cost to build this today, with all the same stone work and wood work?

[@PierreRepooc]

I don’t know about this mansion but in another of my videos I note that a similar mansion called Marble House cost $11 million when built in the late 1800’s and it is estimated it would cost $300 million today. Hope that helps.

[@happymv5350]

Pierre - was it this mansion that had crystal chandeliers with receptacles for perfumed oils?

[@PierreRepooc]

I am not aware of this feature. Interesting.

[@happymv5350]

@@PierreRepooc love your vids

[@dynastynetflixtrends]

Why no one is mentioning this is the mansion from the great gatsby robert redford version?

[@PierreRepooc]

Well I guess I am the guilty one, as I was not aware of this at the time I was composing the video. It was difficult enough trying to figure out what was what around the various rooms and gardens.😎

[@Mindy-s-channel]

I wonder who’s balcony that was over the rose garden

[@PierreRepooc]

I'm sure the guided tour through the house would have informed me but today it would only be a guess on my part.

[@bostoneventlighting794]

Nice video. I suggest using white, basic font on the words next time maybe with black outlined

[@PierreRepooc]

Good suggestions. I’ll try it out next time. Thanks for the comment.

[@bostoneventlighting794]

@@PierreRepooc Of course! Just booked wedding lighting at this venue so the video was perfect for getting familiar with it :)

[@PierreRepooc]

Do you mean you are using the ship as background to a wedding you’re doing?

Beautiful but very poor compared to the Breakers. lol

[@PierreRepooc]

Oh do you really think so? They are both spectacular in my opinion.

[@aaronhollon2616]

@@PierreRepooc They both really are great. I was just kidding, honestly. It is funny to compare the two though.

[@oltedders]

Even European nobility didn't live as well as the Vanderbilts. Compared to the Breakers this IS a Newport cottage.

[@GeorgeVenturi]

@@oltedders I am sorry to disappoint you but European nobles and industrialist in the turn of the XIX century built incredible palaces and castles full of amenities from Ireland to Rumania. Much cheaper I presume as they didn't need to import every single detail and in many ways more impressive.

[@buffedtrainer1]

@@PierreRepooc there is no comparison with the Breakers. This looks like a mother-in-laws attachment to the Breakers or the Marble House

[@buffedtrainer1]

the bedrooms looked drab and dumpy. not impressed at all

[@baseidel]

The furniture style of the era is not a style for today’s consumer. But it does match some of my great grandparents’ idea of being nicely furnished although I know that it is of much higher quality. I am in love with the floors. Such beauty. In the dining room I would have been in love with a table that looked as awesome as the floors. I really appreciate the videographer taking time to appreciate those floors. They would be awesome with any style of furniture!

[@amesavis]

I really don't like this place. Looks like a mausoleum on the outside and a victorian house on the inside. Having lived in a victorian mansion, I can tell you those high ceilings feel awful spooky and cold at night.

[@PierreRepooc]

Different time and a different era when it was originally used. Still a magnificent relic of the late 19th, early 20th century though. How did you come to live in a Victorian mansion? Thanks for your opinion.
