The lady that commissioned Rosecliff was Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs. I really enjoyed learning the story inside this mansion. It may look familiar for several films have had scenes shot there like 27 Dresses, The Great Gatsby, and if you like old films, High Society. ![]() One of my favorite mansions to visit was the Rosecliff Mansion. The high quality of materials and fine craftsmanship is absolutely amazing! To give you an example, William Vanderbilt’s home, the Marble House, reported to cost $11 million (remember this was back in 1890), and $7 million of that was spent on marble alone! Not to mention they have a room they called ‘the gold room’ which is very fitting seeing how it is covered in 22-karat gold leaf! Oh, I may have failed to mention that these were their summer cottages! Holy smokes! Can you imagine their everyday homes?! It all started a few years ago when we had the opportunity to visit several mansions in Newport, Rhode Island.
