The Elms became a National Historic Landmark in 1996 after having been occupied from the late 1800s to the mid-1960s by the Berwind family.
Used as a summer home, Mr. Berwind commissioned architect Horace Trumbauer to construct it, drawing inspiration from the mid-18th century French Chateau d'Asnieres.
The stately home was completed in 1901 and featured interior designs and furnishings by Paris designers Allard and Sons.
It became the backdrop to Berwind's accumulation of 18th century oriental jades and French and Venetian paintings.
Guests can see this lovely home, artifact collections, and intricate Classic Revival gardens by joining one of the hourly Servant Life tours or audio tours.
