While the exact date of this photo is still a mystery, it offers an amazingly detailed look at the Turkish Pavilion—the ornate building with the distinctive onion domes seen just to the right of Lucy.

We’ve learned so much fascinating history about this long-lost landmark. For example, it was fashioned from materials originally used to create the Brazilian Court at Philadelphia’s 1876 Centennial Exhibition! The materials were later brought to the shore and transformed into the remarkable building you see here.

Sadly, the Turkish Pavilion was demolished by the late 1920s, but photographs like this help us piece together the fascinating world that once surrounded Lucy. ✨🐘

Beaches? We’ve got ’em.
Boardwalks? Of course.
Saltwater taffy? Obviously.
A six-story elephant?

Only in Margate. ❤️🐘

Today, we’re flying Lucy’s flag at half-staff in honor of Greyson R. Jones on what would have been his 14th birthday. Greyson was a devoted friend and supporter of Lucy who made a point to visit her whenever he was in Margate. They say an elephant never forgets, and neither will we. Greyson will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families and loved ones who carry their memory, and all those whose lives were forever changed.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Labor Day may have come and gone, but we all know fall is one of the most beautiful times of year down the Shore! 🍂🐘

Two photos. More than 50 years of love, dedication, and determination. Lucy’s transformation is a powerful reminder of what a community can accomplish when people come together to protect something they love. Because of supporters like you, Lucy wasn’t lost to history. She became a treasured piece of it. And together, we’ll make sure she keeps standing tall for generations to come. ❤️🐘

A day at the beach in Margate from another era. 🏖️ Bathing caps, stockings, and not a bikini in sight! Some things may have changed, but Lucy still stands tall, watching over it all. ☀️🐘

Lucy's looking forward to another beautiful summer weekend! She's ready for sunshine, visitors, and—obviously—being the biggest attraction in town! 😎🐘

Wishing a very happy 80th birthday to Save Lucy Committee board member Suzan and her husband, Barry! And where else would they celebrate such a special milestone? At Lucy, of course! 🎂🎉🐘

Please join us in wishing Suzan and Barry a wonderful birthday and many more happy celebrations to come! 🥳

Not to brag, but Lucy was already standing tall before the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. Respect your elders, New York! 😂🐘
