Elephant Colossus was a tourist attraction

located on Coney Island in Brooklyn NY

Built in the shape of an elephant

This seven story structure was designed

by James Lafferty & stood at Surf Avenue

and West 12th Street from 1885 until 1896

when it burnt down During that time the

building was used as a hotel concert hall

and amusement bazaar It was the second of

the three elephant buildings by Lafferty

preceded by Lucy in Margate NJ only 2 miles

from Atlantic City NJ and then followed by

The Light of Asia in Cape May NJ
