Elstowe Manor at Elkins Estate was built by William and Marie Louise Elkins in 1898. Designed by Horace Trumbauer, this Italian Renaissance 45-room mansion was constructed as their retirement and entertainment home. They hosted numerous ongoing events with dignitaries such as Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, and business partner Peter Arrell Browne Widener. The 42 acres on which Elstowe Manor sits also include the 1896 home of his son George, Chelton House, a magnificent English Tudor, also designed by Trumbauer. Elstowe Manor is built of Indiana limestone with French interiors done by the leading designer, Allard et Fils. Unlike other residences in the late 1800s, Elstowe Manor had its own power plant, which was designed with the help of William's friend, Thomas Edison. William Elkins had a humble beginning, dropping out of school in the 8th grade to work at a fruit and produce stand, which he eventually bought. He went on to establish the first oil refinery business in the country, located in Philadelphia, which he later sold to his friend Rockefeller. Elkins also started all the railroad lines and trolley services connecting New York, Baltimore, and Chicago. Unfortunately, after living in this architectural masterpiece for only a few short years, William passed away, and his wife then moved in with their son at Chelton House. The Elkins were avid art collectors, and many pieces of their collection were donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which William was instrumental in having built. In 1932, the Dominican Sisters of Peace purchased the property and began using the home as a women's religious retreat space. They owned the property up until Landmark's purchase in 2019.
