The Elms: "The Elms," the Edward J. Berwind estate,
is significant for its architectural and landscape design of the Classical Revival
Style in the period from 1900 through the 1920s. In addition, Edward J. Berwind was
a leading figure in the American coal industry, and Horace Trumbauer, architect of The Elms,
was one of the outstanding architects of the era. The house was constructed between 1899 and 1901 with Trumbauer modeling the design on the Chateau d'Asnieres in France. The estate is now owned by the Preservation Society of Newport and is open to the public. |
