1930's Mountain Lake Singing Tower, Lake Wales, Florida

This is a Record Press postcard. Never mailed and more clean than not. Sharp all around with no creases or tears, but the usual light corner wear.

The back of the card tells us: "Reflected in a small lake, stands on the highest officially surveyed point in Florida. It was a gift to the American people from Edward Bok, who came here from Belgium a poor boy and in time rose to the editorship of the Ladies' Home Journal. Italian stone workers were especially imported to do most of the carving and every effort was made to make the tower an inspiring ediface, in proportions, in design, in appearance, and in its setting which is a sanctuary for birds - and humans - 48 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The Carillon with 71 bells varying in weight from a few pounds to about 11 tons offers frequent concerts to visitors in the lovely gardens."
