Elmshaven, in St. Helena, California, also known as Ellen White House or Robert Pratt Place was a home of Ellen G. White from 1900 until her death in 1915. She was notable for her prophetic ministry which was instrumental in founding the Sabbatarian Adventist movement that led to the rise of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The house was built in 1885 by Robert H. Pratt, and initally 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 there until her death in 1915. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/93001609.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: _______] |32 KB|date=__, 19__ |author=___NPS FOCUS WEB DOWN TRY ADDING LATER_____ |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/93001609.pdf "Accompanying ___ photos, exterior and interior, from 19__"] |32 KB] Note: A National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination document should be available upon request from the National Park Service for this site, but it appears not to be available on-line from the [http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreghome.do?searchtype=natreghome NPS Focus search site] .]
