Elephant
House

Elephant House is the home on Cape Cod that Edward Gorey, author,
illustrator, puppeteer and playwright, lived and worked
in when he left New York City.
Located at
8 Strawberry Lane, Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, USA,
the home currently serves as a museum of sorts, celebrating
the life and work of Edward Gorey among other things.
Gorey had
a healthy respect and passion for animals, was an
advocate for them, and contributed to animal rights
organizations. He loved cats in particular, thus the
activities of the House, from art education to interactive
exhibits, have a special focus on animal welfare.
