Elmshaven is located in a rural-residential area north of downtown St. Helena, on the east side of Glass Mountain Lane. The main house is a two-story frame structure built out of redwood and finished in ship-lap siding. It was built in the Victorian style, with a square turret at the right front corner, capped by a pointed roof. The central portion of the main facade is a projecting gable section, with the main entrance to its left, sheltered by a porch with decorative railings on two levels. The interior retains many features original to either its construction or the period of Ellen White's ownership. The property also includes a tank house for a large water tank, and a two-story wood-frame outbuilding used as an office, library, and storage vault.
The house was built in 1885 by Robert H. Pratt and was initially known as the Robert Pratt Place. Ellen White purchased the home in 1900, naming it "Elmshaven" after the row of elm trees at its front. She lived in this house until her death in 1915. Of the places White lived, it is the best-preserved, and the one where she lived the longest. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.
