Following Robeson's death in 1874, the house was sold to Adele Livingston Stevens (Шаблон:Nee Sampson) and her then husband, Frederic W. Stevens. In 1882, Adele hired Stanford White of McKim, Mead & White to remodel and enlarge the residence at a cost of $16,591 and had the interiors redone by Ogden Codman Jr. Between 1881 and 1883, Isaac Bell Jr. had McKim, Mead and White build a Shingle style home next door at 70 Perry Street, today known as the Isaac Bell House.
Shortly after the renovations were completed, Adele began a relationship with the Marquis de Talleyrand, who was himself married to another American heiress, Elizabeth Beers-Curtis, then left her husband and moved to Paris. After each obtaining a divorce from their spouses, they wed in 1887, after which, she rented out her Newport house. In 1893,[1] Adele sold the house for $87,500 to Christopher R. Robert and his wife, Julia, of New York.[2][3]
