EDITORS COMMENTS
The Elms," located at 367 Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, was the magnificent summer residence of Edward Julius Berwind from 1901 until his death in 1938. Designed by the esteemed architect Horace Trumbauer between 1899 and 1901, with landscaping and garden enhancements completed between 1907 and 1914 by Trumbauer and gardener Bruce Butterton, this historic estate is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Gilded Age. This photograph, taken in 1914 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the breathtaking beauty of "The Elms." The image features the stately mansion, adorned with ivy and framed by a lush, green landscape.
