On this #TransformationTuesday we look back at the original Elms. Built in 1876, the Italianate-style summer cottage was purchased by Edward and Herminie Berwind in 1888. The Berwinds would commission architect Horace Trumbauer to build a new summer residence from 1899 to 1901. The result was the beautiful house that is there today. The last day to visit The Elms for this season is January 3rd.
