Elkins Estate
Elkins Estate is a estate located in Elkins Park, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The estate contains seven buildings, the most notable being Elstowe Manor and Chelten House, both Horace Trumbauer designed mansions. Elstowe Manor was built in 1898 at the location where "Needles", the former family summer home of William L. Elkins had stood. Elkins, a prominent Philadelphia businessman, was integral in the formation of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and SEPTA.

The 45 room Manor was built in the style of Italian High Renaissance. The unique interior features, such as the ornate carved wood and gilded molding, marble columns and accents, frescoed ceilings, gargoyles and the like, were crafted in Europe and shipped to the United States, where they were assembled on-site. The interior was designed by renowned French interior decor experts Allard et Fils, which accounts for the distinctly French feel in some of the rooms. The home is anchored on either side by a large library and drawing room. Between these rooms are two wings, one containing a breakfast room and dining room and the other containing a billiard room and den with a separate wing leading to a large gallery. These wings all lead to a grand staircase in the center of the house. The second floor has nine bedrooms, three dressing rooms and seven baths. The third floor and raised basement is where the servant quarters are located. With the mansion Trumbauer also designed the wrought iron gates at the entrance of the estate along with a small gatehouse, a powerhouse and an eight car garage.
