Subject
Lake Wales (Fla.)
Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Lake Wales, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
The land around present-day Lake Wales was first surveyed by Sidney Irving Wailes in 1879. Wailes changed the name of the area's major lake, then called Watts Lake, to Lake Wailes. The area was used by settlers for the turpentine, lumber, grapefruit, and orange industries.
Around 1911-1912, the City of Lake Wales was established by the Lake Wales Land Company. The town was officially incorporated in 1917 and the City of Lake Wales was granted a municipal charter in 1921. In 1925, the Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) Railroad Company constructed a railroad line joining Haines City to Everglades City, with a depot located in Lake Wales.

Description
Bok Tower, located at 1151 Tower Boulevard in Lake Wales, Florida. These images were taken by Russell Moore in 2010.<br /><br />Edward Bok (1863-1930) retired to the town of Lake Wales, located south of Orlando. Bok set out a plan to establish a natural garden and bird sanctuary where people to visit to quietly enjoy nature. He engaged Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr. (1870-1957) to design the grounds and asked architect Milton Bennett Medary (1874-1929) to design and build a carillon tower. Lee Lawrie (1877-1963), a noted sculptor from New York, designed the elaborate marble sculpture that adorns the tower. Work was completed in 1928 and on February 1, 1929, President Calvin Coolidge dedicated the Sanctuary. Bok died less than a year later in 1930 and was buried at the foot of the tower.<br /><br />The tower and the carillon housed inside is Bok Tower Gardens' most distinctive feature. The carillon consists of 60 bells, ranging in size from 16 pounds to just under 12 tons. The bells are played like an organ with the keys connected to the clappers of each bell. Bok Tower has had only three regular carillonneurs in its more than 70 years. The Sanctuary's first carillonneur was Anton Brees, serving as the only carillonneur from 1928 until 1967. Milford Myhre has been the resident carillonneur since 1968. William De Turk has been the assistant carillonneur since 1993. De Turk is also the librarian of the Anton Brees Carillon Library, which is reportedly the largest and most comprehensive carillon library in the world.

Subject
Lake Wales (Fla.)
Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Lake Wales, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
The land around present-day Lake Wales was first surveyed by Sidney Irving Wailes in 1879. Wailes changed the name of the area's major lake, then called Watts Lake, to Lake Wailes. The area was used by settlers for the turpentine, lumber, grapefruit, and orange industries.
Around 1911-1912, the City of Lake Wales was established by the Lake Wales Land Company. The town was officially incorporated in 1917 and the City of Lake Wales was granted a municipal charter in 1921. In 1925, the Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) Railroad Company constructed a railroad line joining Haines City to Everglades City, with a depot located in Lake Wales.

First Lady Coolidge Dedication at Bok Tower
Subject

Tourism--Florida
Description
The dedication marker for a palm tree planted by First Lady Grace Coolidge (1879-1957), the wife of President Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), on February 1, 1929, at Bok Tower Gardens, located at 1151 Tower Boulevard in Lake Wales, Florida. These images were taken by Russell Moore in 2010.<br /><br />Edward Bok (1863-1930) retired to the town of Lake Wales, located south of Orlando. Bok set out a plan to establish a natural garden and bird sanctuary where people to visit to quietly enjoy nature. He engaged Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr. (1870-1957) to design the grounds and asked architect Milton Bennett Medary (1874-1929) to design and build a carillon tower. Lee Lawrie (1877-1963), a noted sculptor from New York, designed the elaborate marble sculpture that adorns the tower. Work was completed in 1928 and on February 1, 1929, President Calvin Coolidge dedicated the Sanctuary. Bok died less than a year later in 1930 and was buried at the foot of the tower.<br /><br />The tower and the carillon housed inside is Bok Tower Gardens' most distinctive feature. The carillon consists of 60 bells, ranging in size from 16 pounds to just under 12 tons. The bells are played like an organ with the keys connected to the clappers of each bell. Bok Tower has had only three regular carillonneurs in its more than 70 years. The Sanctuary's first carillonneur was Anton Brees, serving as the only carillonneur from 1928 until 1967. Milford Myhre has been the resident carillonneur since 1968. William De Turk has been the assistant carillonneur since 1993. De Turk is also the librarian of the Anton Brees Carillon Library, which is reportedly the largest and most comprehensive carillon library in the world.
