N e wpo r t M a ns i o ns .or g 1902 w! iff r Ne ecl Tou s RoAudio R OSECLIFF Rosecliff Revealed A new-for-2011 audio tour brings Rosecliff’s history and romance to life with never-before-told stories and first person remembrances of the colorful families of Rosecliff. From Tessie Oelrichs, who built this fantasy in terra cotta, to the Monroes of New Orleans, the last family to call Rosecliff home, you’ll discover the very human story of Newport’s great party house. Don’t miss this exciting new visitor experience at Rosecliff. April 30 – November 18 AND THE BRIDE WORE… WEDDING DRESSES FROM THE COLLECTION 1895-1965 Many brides have walked down the heart-shaped staircase at Rosecliff over the years, so it’s fitting that this year’s fashion exhibit features 70 years of wedding dresses, from 1895 to 1965. “Prepare to be awe-struck!” Denver visitor Newport Mansions Come Alive! T HE B REAKERS 1895 National Historic Landmark The Gilded Age houses of the Newport Mansions are landmarks of a vibrant era. To capture the flavor of the era, The Preservation Society of Newport County has included the voices, memories and experiences of generations of people who lived and worked in these houses. We share them with you in a series of audio tours of The Breakers, The Elms, Marble House, and, new this year, Rosecliff. “We explore several aspects of Gilded Age history and culture in these tours,” says John Tschirch, Director of Museum Affairs. “After visiting the four Gilded Age houses, one leaves with a real sense of the monumental building, the social whirl of the rich, powerful and fashionable, the rise of industry and technological invention, the stories of servants, and the changing role of women that defined the age.” The Breakers Family Tour “We were amazed at how much the girls enjoyed their audio family tour. Our oldest daughter (age 6) said ‘Mom! The house was talking to me!’ It brought the experience to life for them, and made them want to learn about history. It was such a pleasure to see the girls enjoying it.” Alabama visitor The Breakers Family Tour brings the house, its furnishings, and even its sculpture to life as never before. From the over-stuffed Butler to the irascible French Chef, youngsters (and parents) will see the house through a new set of eyes. Wait until you meet the special host who will tell you the stories of life in this great Newport estate. Sights & Sounds of The Breakers A Compelling Look at a Legendary Mansion • Listen to reminiscences of life in The Breakers • Hear from servants and their children • Tour never-before-seen rooms You’ll hear first-person accounts from people who lived and worked in this great house: “Every footman had to be over six feet tall, to look impressive in his uniform.” Even if you’ve been to The Breakers before, we promise you’ll enjoy a totally different and enlightening experience. The 70-room summer estate of New York Central Railroad President Cornelius Vanderbilt II includes a two and a half story high Great Hall and a Morning Room adorned with platinum leaf wall panels. Its interiors feature rare marble, alabaster, and gilded woods throughout. 2011 Schedule April 2 - May 6 The Breakers, Chateau-sur-Mer, The Elms, Marble House & Rosecliff Open Daily The Breakers opens at 9 am, all others open at 10 am.

Recently-restored original bronzes of ladies in Japanese dress holding ornate candelabra have been returned to the central staircase. C HEPSTOW 1861 This charming Italianate-style cottage was designed by Newport architect George Champlin Mason. It reflects the mid-20th century style of its last owner, Alletta Morris McBean, and includes original family furnishings. Tours by reservation only, at 11 am, 1 pm & 3 pm.

Together, these two picturesque cottages illustrate Newport’s evolution as a premier place for great design, fine living, and the creation of a distinctly American style of architecture. Architects McKim, Mead and White created one of the nation’s greatest dining rooms at Kingscote, with Tiffany glass, a unique cork ceiling, and rare furniture and silver collections. They went on to build the Shingle-Style Isaac Bell House, featuring Arts and Crafts interiors, Japanese-inspired columns, and an open floor plan.
