Newport, Rhode Island, USA. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Newport was THE summer place for the wealthiest Americans. They built 'summer cottages', that while mansions, paled in size to the winter homes. The summer was filled with extravagant glass and dinner parties. Rosecliff was one such mansion. Designed by Stanford White, one of the most notable architects of the day, it cost $2.5 million to build. With 65,000 square feet of floor space, there should be plenty of room for all of us. The grand ballroom can seat 350 for dinner. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosecliff) Today, it can be toured, and rented for weddings, dinners, etc. Scenes of the movies The Great Gatsby, Amistad, True Lies and 27 Dresses were filmed here. Enjoy!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
The gardens really lead your eye right into this image, well done Thad, and I enjoyed the narrative. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
I can't imagine living a lifestyle like this. I wonder if it would have been worth the effort. A shot we can all look at and dream and imagine.
Well composed scene, Thad.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
---it cost $2.5 million to build---
There are some days, Thad, that I don't have that amount of money in my wallet, lol!
I'm content however with both your very fine image and with the life I live.
Regards, Cornelius.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I do enjoy to look at this beautiful mansion but can not help but wonder how many people it takes to maintain it. Great photo, very well composed.

Quite the digs you've strayed into, Thad. Beautiful architecture style and a lovely courtyard scene. I could use those benches for my garden. I wonder if they'll throw in the fountain for free if I offer them a good price? Very nicely presented.
