1947 Bok Tower Lake Wales Florida

Printed in 1947, this stunning linen postcard captures the elegance of Bok Tower Gardens, located in Lake Wales, Florida. Dominating the scene is the 205-foot-tall Singing Tower, a magnificent structure made of pink and gray marble, adorned with intricate carvings of Florida's native plants and animals. Known for its 57 bronze bells, the carillon’s music fills the air, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the surrounding 157 acres of lush gardens.

Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., the gardens are a testament to nature’s beauty, featuring a variety of vibrant plants and trees. A National Historic Landmark, Bok Tower Gardens was created by Edward Bok, a philanthropist who intended it as a sanctuary for all who visit, with his own final resting place at the base of the tower.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
