It was the last of the great "Summer Cottages" constructed and is the fifth-largest of Newport's mansions, after The Breakers, Ochre Court, Belcourt Castle, and Rough Point.

From the 1850s to the early 20th century, fashionable wealthy families built elaborate mansions in Newport to be used for entertaining during the summer season.

In 1907, whiskey millionaire Edson Bradley built a French-Gothic mansion on the south side of Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.

Rooms that had been imported intact from France and installed in Washington, D.C. twenty years earlier were moved again and reassembled in Newport, and the new building was constructed around them.

The main house featured turrets, stained-glass windows, high arching doorways and, in keeping with its seaside location, shell motifs.

All the children at the school, who had a 9 pm curfew, spent the evenings listening to the filming of the cars driving up and down the old Oelrichs property, Rosecliff.

It was part of a series portraying the Passion of Christ, and believed to have been made in the workshop of Currado Mochis da Colonia.

[5] The window was bought by Edson Bradley for the house when it was located on Dupont Circle, and may have once been owned by Stanford White.

It has a Tremolo Electric Detached Console Automatic Player which includes Great pipes, Swell, and multiple pedals.

There are two main gateposts, but around most of the rest of the property a decorative hedge is used, rather unsuccessfully, to keep people away, making it the largest of its kind in Newport with such a characteristic.

[citation needed] There is a short length of five foot (1.5 meter) high fencing along the western edge dividing the property from Fairlawn (AKA Salve's Young Building).
