The Elms, Newport Mansion

The Elms, completed in 1901, was built for Edward Julius Berwind. It was a fairly faithful copy of the Château d'Asnières in Asnières-sur-Seine in France. It cost approximately 1.5 million dollars to build. It was one of the first houses in the US to be converted to electricity. The 18th century French styled grounds are considered to be among the best in Newport, and include a sunken garden.
