If anyone is interested in the floor plan, the 1901 edition of "Architecture" magazine featured this mansion and its floor plans, but listed it as Elstowe Mansion, so googling that name will bring up the plans (at a small scale, unfortunately). Googling "Elkins Mansion floor plans" brings up Lynnwood Hall for some reason.

Another great tour. So incredibly beautiful! Thankyou Leslie! You are incredible!!

That amazing work they did in the wood in those walls ... A masterpiece. And we don' t even know the name of such an artist... The name of all those artists who put hands and soul making the wall paper ; the design of the mirrors ; the sielings ; the paintings ; the chandelliers ; the marble chimneys ; all the hallway ... Those perfect details we can admire silently. We don' t know their names but we admire their love for beauty and perfection. Great artists ! Maestros !

I'm happy that this beautiful estate is being renovated and made into a grand hotel. Of course it's much better than being demolished like so many others, but when I see these historical beauties, I love imagining how they were back in thier prime, when they were alive with family.

So refreshing to see such a mansion that is not falling completely apart! Love your videos, Leslie. You are a gem.

Love loving thats it’s being restored. I always get sad when I see beauty in these homes going to waste and ruin.

Loved the tor! So glad someone is restoring it. But would have been wonderful to see the kitchen. That is a very important room of a home if you could start including into your videos! Once again, thank you.

I really love this channel, I enjoy watching ancient abandoned houses. Greetings from Egypt, cradle of civilization 🎀🎀🎀

I LIVE IN THE NORTEAST U.S. HAVE SEEN THIS HOME BUT NOT INSIDE. This is exciting to have you come here and to be honest there are so many in the U.S. and growing. Taxes so high etc. TY!!

Hi Lesley, The mansion is breath taking. Missed you on Sunday but enjoy seeing your video's what ever day it is. We appreciate what you do, love e from Texas.🤗

Wow, a lovely grand dame of a mansion Lesley!! I love it. These homes remind me of the Great Gatsby and the Roaring Twenties era!! That staircase you finished with was spectacular. Thanks and I’m looking forward to seeing even more from this North American series 👏✌️

Love you, Leslie. This palace called you. A piece of heaven blessed & cared for by Sisters & Brothers that held her up with highest regards. Just amazing. Glad you enjoyed our America. Godspeed, Brother🤗

Your drone work on this one is flawless. You do such fantastic work. I have to say that I was also concerned that you would not be able to find any places that were not trashed to the point of being depressing, so seeing this is a tremendous relief to me. When we were younger, we would do this and most of the places we found were sadly very wrecked by vandals. But there were a few places that were time capsules just slowly being reclaimed by nature and those places were well kept secrets. Back to this place - the light fixture hanging from the skylight is incredible. I just loved it. Thank you so much 😘💖

Wow best Lesley! This mansion is incredible! It's great to see you on Wednesday! ❤ 🇧🇷 This mansion must have an exciting history!!!

YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY WILL TRULY NEVER SEE SUCH BEAUTIFUL OLD PLACES LIKE THIS WITH SUCH MASTERFUL CRAFTSMANSHIP !!!

Heyy dear Lesley, Wow what an incredible mansion! I am already very excited to hear the background history of this beautiful building. I am always so full of admiration for your breathtaking explores! - Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards.

I would have loved to be alive in this time period. This mansion is beautiful and will return to its grand existence when renovation is complete. So much American history in this area. This is where America began. This is our heritage and so glad that generations to come will be able to experience it. Thank you for showing this amazing place to us!.

Lesley this was magnificent!! I had no idea there was anything left in the United States that was so nice and historical. I too thought that you were gonna find nothing but trashed places. Can’t wait to dive into the history of this Grand Dame! I can see all the outfits of the roaring 20s. Alcohol flowing, dancing and lots of laughter. I’m wondering if that last room that you went in was an extended ballroom. Did the place have an attic. And it must’ve been the reconstruction area that was the kitchen? I’m guessing. At any rate thank you very much. Epic tour. Love from California💜😎🤟🏻🇺🇸

Stunning! Outstanding explore. Well done! I've worked in a luxury hotel among a long time ago. When I see this I get motivated to work there. Sorry that the USA is so far away from me. And my english is not very good.

Welcome to America, my dude. We're not all as trashy as other countries make us out to be. Yes we have our bad areas, though most of those are in the city areas. Our countryside is just as beautiful as your European countryside and with equally beautiful buildings and homes in some areas. (Yes, we even have our castles believe it or not!) I am proud to live in rural America. Here, life is more innocent and simple. :) Please come again!

He said that he expected abandoned places in the U.S. to be trashed, not trashy. Vandals do usually find their way into abandoned building and homes in the U.S. This place, like Lynnewood Hall, must usually have security, or it would be trashed.

The grand entrance hall was so breathtaking I almost started to cry. Wow! Thank you for all of the hard work and beautiful videos. I see other abandoned explorers but they do not compare with Bros of Decay. Thank you, Lesley and Team. Oh and that one room full of all that equipment that you couldn’t think of the English name for, I believe was the conservatory.

That entrance hall is Amazing!! Thank you for bringing these unbelievable mansions to us to see.

Absolutely stunning, even with the bedrooms etc decaying the main rooms are breathtaking! Only recently found this channel and I love the way you give close views of the wall carvings and ceiling decorations. Thank you.

Very beautiful and elegant love this thanks for sharing this

This is by far one of the most beautiful place's you've shown us . Loved it

Thank you for featuring this estate. The artistry that is showcased in it is pretty amazing. The wealth of those who chose to do this combined with the architects who designed it for them were what allowed the artisans who did the details of every piece of this massive creative piece to be the way that it is. I cannot help but wonder if there are records of the actual companies and the employees who did all the craftmanship that all all over the ceilings and walls. I also watched your Lynnewood Hall episode and in a way it does NOT suprise that these neighbors seemed like it was a kind of, "keeping up with the Joneses" situation. Both of these estates are so reminiscent of the Versaille. I imagine that they toured Paris and decided they wanted the same grandeur to live in when they got back to the United States so they spent no expense in doing just that. What I am noticing is that these estates generally do NOT seem to have provided anything in their will & testament to create some kind of provision to create a kind of endowment fund that will let the public/state/country eventually have stewardship for it. The Widener family had the foresight to donate their entire art collection to Washington, DC for the public to enjoy and somehow I imagine it could have been possible to do the same with the entire Lynnewood Hall estate. I just want to say you do a wonderful job with these videos. Again, thank you!

Gorgeous place. 👍 Great video as always

Just beautiful architecture. Thank you so much for sharing the ceilings. I absolutely love the ceilings in the buildings.

Really love your explorations. This place is magnificent. Some of us enjoy the spooky basements too. Lol. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks.

Oh wow!!! So beautiful!

You were so close to me!! Thank you for taping this beautiful mansion. I was there for a retreat in the 80s. it was fun trying to remember the rooms.

The mansion is what dreams are made of. The outside of the building is in good shape. The inside is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing with us.

Hi Lesley, I’m so glad you were able to visit the United States. You do an amazing job exploring this video was phenomenal thank you for bringing us on your journey. I hope you can come back to US soon!

Did you get a chance to go to the Tudor mansion off to the side of this one? It is on the grounds just over in the trees. It was built for the original owner's daughter I think and it is a masterpiece as well!

I'm glad someone is renovating the place too. You're in my area (sort of) in the U.S. I don't know if you are aware that there are places open to the public in Newport, Rhode Island - former private gilded-age mansions and such from the same area. The Vanderbuilt's had one or two of them, I believe. I know you do abandoned, but thought you might like to see them some time you are in the U.S. again. I toured a few of them years ago with my daughter. Thanks for sharing this one. Hopefully one day we'll get to see the finished renovation - hotel.
