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. The saturated colors and textured finish of the linen style evoke the tranquil atmosphere that has welcomed millions of travelers to this historic site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Linen (circa 1936)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Lake Wales\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Florida\u003cbr\u003eCountry: United States\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Monuments and Botanical Gardens\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Circulated (Postmarked 1939)\u003cbr\u003ePostage: 1¢ George Washington Stamp\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: Divided Back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Unknown\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Florida Post Card Co., Jacksonville, Fla.\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Curt Teich and Co., Chicago, Ill.\u003cbr\u003ePrint Type: Lithograph\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back of this card provides a detailed description of the Singing Tower, noting its construction from Florida coquina stone and Georgia pink marble.
