1936 Singing Tower Lake Wales Sanctuary FL Postcard

About This Vintage Postcard

Dating to the mid-1930s, this vintage postcard captures the serene majesty of the Singing Tower at Bok Tower Gardens. Nestled within the lush Mountain Lake Sanctuary near Lake Wales, this 205-foot neo-Gothic masterpiece was dedicated in 1929 as a "sanctuary for birds and man." The view showcases the tower rising above a foreground of blooming azaleas and moss-draped pines, perfectly illustrating why it remains one of Florida's most beloved architectural and botanical landmarks.
