Ochre Court (1891) is a French Renaissance Revival style chateau by Richard Morris Hunt, the acknowledged dean of American architecture during the Gilded Age. Built for Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Goelet of New York, Ochre Court was one of the first of the opulent Beaux Arts palace in Newport. In 1945, Ogden Goelet offered the house as a site for the proposed headquarters for the United Nations prior to the selection of New York City as its home base. The Goelets donated the mansion in 1947 as the campus for Salve Regina College, now Salve Regina University.

The white glazed terra cotta villa was designed by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. The house was donated by its last owners, Mr. and Mrs. J.Edgar Monroe, to the Preservation Society of Newport County in 1971. Scenes from several films have been shot on location at Rosecliff, including High Society, The Great Gatsby, and Amistad.
