History
The Windsong estate came into being in 1904 when Chicago Industrialist Charles Hosmer Morse purchased 200 acres around lakes Virginia, Berry, and Mizell. His daughter, Elizabeth Morse Genius, and her husband built a Mediterranean-style villa that epitomized the charming, old-world style of Winter Park. It was here on a particular summer evening that one of the ladies hung a bell from the branch of a tree. The cool lake breezes caused the bell to sound sweetly. Soon, bells and wind chimes hung throughout the estate. Their clear, gentle ringing inspired the name Windsong. The new Windsong neighborhoods are located adjacent to the property where the origninal Windsong estate home still sits.
