点评:The tour of The Elms was included in our Newport Mansions tour. By the time we got here, as our last stop, we had an hour to rush through the mansion and gardens. It was not enough time, this “cottage” is huge and there are stories in every room. The Preservation Society of Newport County saved the building at the last minute before it was to be demolished and turned into a parking lot. The furnishings were auctioned off only to be donated back once the Preservation Society took it over. The rooms are large, the ceilings high, the staircase impressive with marble everywhere. Downstairs you will find the huge kitchens, I could imagine the staff members buzzing around like a beehive during a lavish dinner party. Don’t miss the gardens, out beyond the huge group of European Beech trees, it’s gorgeous.
