Description
Built in 1929, the Sugarloaf Key Bat Tower is an historic site in the Florida Keys. The Hygiostatic Bat Roost, as Campbell called it, was intended to be a roost for bats that would eat the mosquitoes which spread malaria. Fishing lodge owner Richter Clyde Perky built it to control the mosquito problem but his bats didn't like it. They flew away, never to return. Fat Albert in the background is also grounded now.
