A native of South Jersey, my dad would take me to the beach and help me find “Cape May Diamonds” in the late 60’s and early 70’s. He would also tell me the tales of the “Jersey Devil” growing up. What a wonderful place to grow up.

Light of Asia (1884) James Lafferty, a New York inventor, received a patent for an elephant building on December 5, 1882. More sculpture than carpentry, the construction of these buildings involves hand-shaping nearly a million pieces of wood to create the required intricate collection of curves to receive an outer sheath of hammered tin. He built the first one, “Lucy”(1882) in South Atlantic City (now Margate) to publicize his real estate business there. The Coney Island Amusement Park in New York commissioned the second and largest--a gargantuan, twelve-story Lafferty elephant twice as large as Lucy--called the "Elephantine Colossus" The third Lafferty elephant, slightly smaller than Lucy, is "the Light of Asia," erected as the centerpiece of another land sale program in South Cape May. Fire brought down the Collossus in 1896 and demolition turned out the Light of Asia, leaving Lucy as the only survivor.
