Lucy The Elephant: Amazing Elephant-Shaped Building

- Lucy the Elephant is located along the beach in Josephine Harron Park (named for our co-founder) in Margate, NJ. Built in 1881 by James Vincent de Paul Lafferty Jr, Lucy the Elephant was intended to attract buyers to the building lots Lafferty was offering for sale in the area. After falling into financial trouble, Lafferty sold the Elephant and other property to Anton Gertzen in 1887.
