The centerpiece of the gardens appears behind William: the Bok Singing Tower. The 205-foot-tall tower, designed by architect Milton B. Medary, was completed by February 1929. It features Gothic revival and Art Deco detailing. A 60-bell carillon can be played by a clavier (keyboard) in the bell chamber.
