Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. The Mountain Lake Sanctuary in Florida is famous for its Singing Tower, from which carillon chimes peal forth in musical cadence across the beautiful grounds surrounding the tower. Frederick Law Olmsted designed the sanctuary grounds, and Milton B. Medary designed the tower. This souvenir booklet, a reprint, was copyrighted in 1940 and presents an array of handsome sepia toned photographs of the tower, its interior and the grounds surrounding. as well as three beautiful color pictures (including cover). There is an appreciative introductory text by Edward W. Bok that leads into the main text, which amply describes the wonders of the Sanctuary. On the first page is a dedicatory statement: "This singing tower with its adjacent sanctuary was dedicated and presented for visitation to the American People by Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, February the First MCMXXIX ." The pictures, throughout are lovely, including a few drawings, and a picture of a a relief frieze map of Florida. The flamingos that hang out at the lagoon of the sanctuary proudly posed for a photograph also. The book notes that the Bellmaster of the Sanctuary - a Master Carillonneur - was Anton Brees. He was Laureate of the Royal Flemish Conservatory, Belgium. Mr. Brees is shown playing the chimes. There is also a handsome photograph of Mr. Bok at the front of the book; Bok was a Pulitzer Prize winning author who, incidentally, coined the term 'Living Room'. Under his portrait is a statement by Bok : "Make you the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it -" TITLE : The Mountain Lake Sanctuary, Florida FOREWORD : Edward A.
