Perhaps the most whimsical listing on the National Register, Lucy the Elephant is a six-story elephant-shaped building which has proudly stood southwest of Atlantic City since the 1880s. She was built as – and remains – a tourist attraction.

Over the years, the structure has also been used as office space, a restaurant, and a tavern. The elephant was almost torn down in the 1960s, but locals fought to have her restored.
