The Elkins Estate is a 42-acre (170,000 m2) estate located in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, United States. The estate contains seven buildings, the most notable being Elstowe Manor and Chelten House, which are historic mansions designed by Horace Trumbauer.
Elstowe Manor was built in 1898 for William L. Elkins at the location where "Needles", the former summer home of the Elkins family, had stood. Elkins was a Philadelphia businessman who was integral in the formation of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, the forerunner of SEPTA.
