1895 Carriage Elephant Hotel Lucy New Jersey Margate
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic presence of Lucy, the iconic elephant-shaped building that once stood tall in Margate, New Jersey. Built in 1881 as a unique promotional tool for the town, Lucy quickly became a beloved symbol of Margate's charm and allure. In this late 19th-century snapshot, Lucy stands proudly against the North American skyline, her grandeur impossible to ignore. The intricate details of her exterior are beautifully highlighted by the expertly captured light and shadows. From her towering legs to her magnificent tusks, every aspect of this architectural marvel exudes elegance and grace. Surrounded by other buildings from turn-of-the-century America, Lucy stands out with her distinctive shape and whimsical design. A horse-drawn carriage passes by on the street nearby while visitors admire this extraordinary sight. Lucy's significance extends beyond being just an enchanting structure; she served as a hotel during her early years. This print allows us to step back in time and imagine what it would have been like to stay within these walls during an era when travel was still a luxury for many. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Granger Art on Demand's carousel collection, we can't help but feel transported to a different era—a time when creativity knew no bounds and architecture dared to be unconventional.
