Clip Summary
Sonya Berle shows off the large foyer and explains how she and her husband started with small restorations in New Orleans before turning to their grand plans for Elm Court.The fireplace in the foyer has a mantle made of carved Brownstone and is so large visitors can sit on its interior benches and toast marshmallows.
The home was heavily vandalized prior to the Berle's restoration efforts. One of the reasons for the vandalization was that treasure hunters believed there was hidden wealth inside the walls of this grand Vanderbilt-Sloane cottage.
