The house has been designated a National Historic Landmark for its importance as the summer home of Daniel Webster (1782-1852), who owned it from 1829 until his death. HistoryDaniel Webster's father, Ebenezer, bought the property in 1800, while Daniel was a student at Dartmouth College. The property passed in 1806 to Daniel's brother Ezekiel, who died in 1829, at which time Daniel bought it. The Elms served as an "experimental farm" and "vacation retreat" for Webster while he lived in Massachusetts, and the land was a gravesite for his parents, brothers and sisters.[3] The property was sold by Webster's heirs to the Sisters of the Holy Cross, who used it as an orphanage.[3] The property is now part of the Webster Place Recovery Center, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120131133143/http://nh.easterseals.com/site/PageServer?pagename=NHDR_substanceabuseprograms a substance abuse program of Easter Seals New Hampshire], which treats those recovering from alcohol and drug addiction.[4] It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.[1][3] DescriptionThe main block of the house is a 2.5 story wood frame structure, sheathed in clapboards, and topped with a gable roof. It is five bays wide, with a center entry that is flanked by pilasters, and topped by a five-pane transom window and cornice. The interior of the house consists of two rooms on each floor, divided by a central chimney, whose top has been removed (and thus does not project above the roof anymore). The downstairs left room was divided to provide a kitchen space. The older part of the house is dominated visually by a large addition on the east side of the building, which was probably added when the property was adapted for use as an orphanage.[3] See also
