What can I say about about Lucy? She deserves a post of her own. She is 131 years old and six stories high overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Margate, New Jersey. She has survived hurricanes, ocean floods and fire. She was built as a novelty amusement to attract visitors to Atlantic City but endures today as a beloved reminder of days gone by and an object of affection to lovers of fantasy. In 1976 Lucy was designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Government as the oldest surviving example of a unique form of "zoomorphic" architecture.
