About this postcard

Night view of the Singing Tower rising above flowering shrubs and palms, reflected in a still pool with lily pads. The tower is lit against a moonlit sky. The caption places the view from the north in Mountain Lake Sanctuary, the landscaped grounds Edward Bok created on high ground near Lake Wales. Completed in 1929, the 205-foot tower was built of Florida coquina and Georgia marble and holds a large carillon, described on the card as one of the finest and largest ever cast.
