The Grounds of The Elms

The Elms boasts one of the most beautiful grounds of all the mansions. The gardens are quite beautiful with large trees, statues, fountains and formal gardens where the owners must have spent much of their time.

Walking around the grounds is a nice way to spend some time, especially with a loved one.

Visit the Elms

The Elms, along with Marble House and The Breakers is a grand home and was used as a summer residence of it's rich owner, the Philadelphia philanthropist Julis Berwind and his wife. Mr. Berwind made his fortune in coal and summered in The Elms. His home was designed to resemble that of the French chateau d'Asnieres which is located just outside of Paris.

The interior of the home is quite breathtaking with furnishings designed by a Parisian company which compliments Mr. Berwind's many collections of ceramics and Venitian Art.

The grounds of the home are just as striking with gardens, fountains, terraces, sculptures and a large lawn which all make this one of the most beautiful mansions in Newport.
