    Various sculptural carvings decorate a tower facade using motifs of birds and plants. A band of sculpture at the 32-foot level of the tower includes Florida birds such as the pelican, flamingo, heron, goose and swan. Below this band are two windows with sculptured grills of marble. The grill on the east window depicts a young man feeding flamingoes. The grill on the west window depicts a young man watering plants. Halfway up the tower are corner finials of eagles. On either side of the eagles are doves, each carrying a branch of laurel and a branch of oak. There is sculpture on the cresting at the top of the tower with additional bird-shaped finials, a cock heron with a fish in its bill and a hen heron with a nest of young. Between these birds are perforated panels of palm and roses.
