Pictured above is the "Coney's Colossus" Elephant Hotel which was located on the site that would later become Luna Park. This tin & wood frame building was built by James Lafferty in 1884. The elephant stood 150 ft. tall and had 34 rooms, including a cigar stand in a rear leg. The structure burned in 1896.
