Lucy the Elephant is a 6-story elephant, constructed of wood and tin sheeting in 1881 by James V. Lafferty in Margate City. Originally named Lucy Bazaar, Lucy was built to promote real estate sales and attract tourism. Lucy is the oldest surviving roadside tourist attraction in America. In 2020, Lucy began allowing overnight stays as an Air BNB and marked the first time Lucy had been inhabited by humans since it was rented as a home in the early 1900s.
