When an elephant that stands six stories tall needs a shower, it's best to call in the fire department.Monday's bath, administered by the Margate City Fire Department, was less about cleanliness and more about inspection.
The National Historic Landmark has been under cover throughout the process, but the project is now in the home stretch."Before we started to dismantle the scaffolding, we wanted to make sure it's watertight because obviously, that's why we did it," said Richard Helfant, executive director of Lucy the Elephant.The good news: her new skin did not leak."We're going to perhaps seal some of the windows shut," said Helfant.
While Lucy has received some grants to help pay for the restoration, Helfant says they're still about $800,000 short.
