The Elms in Newport — view 2
The Elms is a sprawling chateau-style mansion built in 1901 for the coal magnate Edward Julius Berwind, reflecting the Gilded Age's opulence in its lavish architecture and Italian gardens. Crafted from local sandstone and featuring a unique blend of classical and Baroque elements, it sits on ten acres overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors can explore the grand interiors, which include a ballroom and a superbly crafted library, along with the expansive gardens designed for leisure and picturesque strolls. Autumn is a particularly lovely time to visit as the foliage changes, providing a beautiful backdrop for photography. Nearby, the scenic Cliff Walk offers stunning ocean views.
