367 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI - The Elms

The Elms was the summer residence of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Julius Berwind. In 1898, the Berwin’s engaged Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer to design a house modeled after an 18th century French chateau. The mansion was completed in 1901, with interior furnishings designed by Jules Allard and Sons of Paris. Mrs. Berwind died in 1922, and Mr. Berwind invited his sister, Julia, to become his hostess at his Newport house. Mr. Berwind died in 1936 and Julia continued to summer at the house until her death in 1961.
