The Elms, Neoclassical mansion in Newport, United States.
The Elms features marble floors, intricate woodwork, and European-style gardens inspired by the Château d'Asnières in Asnières-sur-Seine, France.
Coal baron Edward Julius Berwind commissioned architect Horace Trumbauer to build this 1.5-million-dollar estate between 1899 and 1901 as a summer residence.
The mansion reflects the social standards of Newport's elite during the Gilded Age through its grand ballroom, formal dining areas, and extensive art collections.
Visitors require personal smart devices with headphones to access audio tours, and group rates apply for parties of 20 or more adults.
The underground tunnel system, built for servants to move discreetly through the mansion, reveals the complex social hierarchy of early 20th-century household staff.
