Welcome to our historic Inn (circa ), designed by well-known architect John Calvin Stevens. The exterior is clad with a variety of cut shingles, as was his trademark. There is terracotta shag adorning the entrance, eaves and exterior. The multi-gabled roof adds scale and prominence to this Queen Ann Victorian Inn. Looking skyward, you will see the 4 -story high chimney with leaded stained glass. The eye shaped windows peeking out are for exterior adornment only. On the inside, they are tucked in the eaves or closets. Carved wood detail is everywhere, all overlooking the water of the Presumpscot River.
Walk up the front steps and enter into THE ELMS INN through the gold leaf wallpapered vestibule, then into our lobby. You’re immediately struck by the pickled oak walls, paneled ceiling with ship styled beams, tiled fireplace adorned with irises, and grand stairway.
