景點名稱﹕Lucy the Elephant

景點簡介﹕在新州南部﹐沒有哪個建築有像Lucy the Elephant這樣精彩的歷史. 它甚至可以使在海上漂泊的印第安人幾天吃不下飯﹗1881年﹐一個名叫Lafferty的地產投資商想建造一座特別的房屋﹐以此來吸引大量涌入泛大西洋地區的遊客. 於是﹐他與來自費城的建築商簽訂了合同. Lafferty投資$25,000建造Lucy the Elephant (後來他卻宣佈他實際上花了$39﹐000). Lafferty 為此還申請了專利﹗這是一座特別的房子﹕大象的身體被分成幾間房間﹐而腿則是上屋子的樓梯...

You will cross over Route 9. Stay on Rte 563. After crossing Route 9, go about another 3/4 of a mile to a 5-point intersection. Take the easy left onto the Margate Bridge Causeway (there is a large red "Margate Bridge" sign with an arrow marking the road). Take this Causeway into Margate. After you cross the toll ($1.00) bridge, you will be on Jerome Avenue. Go to the 5th traffic light, Ventnor Avenue. Turn right on Ventnor Avenue and go 14 blocks to Decatur Avenue. Turn left on Decatur Avenue and go to the end (1 block). Lucy will be on your right.

Turn right onto Route 559 and follow it to the end (about 1 mile). It will end at the circle in Somers Point. Follow the circle half way around. Just past the boarded-up gas station, turn right out of the circle onto Shore Road. Follow Shore Road to Maryland Avenue (Dairy Queen and Wawa Food Market at this intersection). Turn right onto Maryland Avenue (Route 152). This is the Longport/Somers Point Causeway. Follow this road into Longport. At the foot of the last bridge, the road will split. Stay to the right of the split and go to the 2nd stop sign (2 short blocks to Atlantic Avenue). Turn left onto Atlantic Avenue. Go about one mile. Lucy will be on your right.
