Additional Details:
Edward W. Bok built the Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary and Singing Tower at Lake Wales, Florida, as a token of his appreciation and gratitude for what America had given him. The tower weighs 5,500 tons, has a square base 51 feet, and rises to a height of 205 ft. 2 in. It contains a carillon of 71 bells and is built for the most part from coquina materials. It is a concrete exemplification of Mr. Bok's creed. 'Make you the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it.'
