A Hand In Everything...
In seems as though through looking at the other projects in the class as well as my own that Charles Morse had his hand in everything. Mr. Morse truly was the founding father that had the vision and the piggy bank to produce his retreat for the wealthy. From the construction of the Winter Park Country Club to the town layout Morse was apart of Winter Park from its primary infancy. Morse was also influential in the arts with his interest in museums, culture and education. Mr. Morse donated a lot of his money to Rollins College, which he believed in full heartedly as a future home of fine education. Winter Park owes its sense of community building, art loving spirit and aesthetic beauty to the vision of Charles Morse.
