点评:Stepping into the elms is like being transported to Europe. The Elms is located on Bellevue Avenue and was home to Mr. & Mrs. Edward Julius Berwind. The Berwinds were a powerful family of the Gilded Age, and the Elms showcased their affluence. Mr. Berwind built his fortune in the coal industry.
The Elms was modeled after an 18th century chateau outside of Paris. Built for $1.4 million dollars in 1901 (equivalent to $54 million in 2026) it served as the summer home of Mr. & Mrs. Berwind. The Elms included one of the earliest electrical system in a private residence along with luxurious bathrooms and refrigeration.
We really enjoyed exploring this mansion. Every room had intricate details from floor to ceiling, and personally I found it one of the cozier, warmer mansions that we’ve explored. Touring the Elms offered a vibrant look into the lifestyles of the wealthy in Newport, Rhode Island.
Outside, the grounds have massive beech trees which were so fun to explore and take pictures near.
There is a carriage house located on the property with a cafe which features elevated New England classics and farm to table flare. We didn’t have a chance to dine there, but on a beautiful day would be a great spot to have a beverage on their patio!

翻译:走进榆树庄园,仿佛瞬间穿越到了欧洲。榆树庄园位于贝尔维尤大道,曾是爱德华·朱利叶斯·伯温德夫妇的故居。伯温德家族是镀金时代的显赫家族,榆树庄园正是他们财富的象征。伯温德先生的财富主要来自煤炭行业。
榆树庄园仿照巴黎郊外一座18世纪的城堡而建。它于1901年建成,耗资140万美元(相当于2026年的5400万美元),是伯温德夫妇的避暑别墅。榆树庄园拥有当时私人住宅中最早的电力系统之一,以及豪华的浴室和冰箱。
我们非常享受探索这座豪宅的过程。每个房间都从地板到天花板都装饰得精美绝伦,就我个人而言,我觉得它是我们参观过的最温馨舒适的豪宅之一。参观榆树庄园让我们得以一窥罗德岛州纽波特富人的生活方式。
室外,庭院里遍布巨大的山毛榉树,漫步其中,拍照留念,乐趣无穷。
庄园内有一座马车房,里面设有一家咖啡馆,供应精致的新英格兰经典菜肴和农场直供的特色美食。我们没机会在那里用餐,但想必在阳光明媚的日子里,坐在露台上小酌一杯,一定非常惬意!
