This podcast episode features South Florida architect Lawrence Murray Dixon. Born in Live Oak, Florida, in 1901, and a graduate of Georgia School of Technology, aka Georgia Tech, in 1919, Dixon established his reputation in South Florida as one of the most prominent architects during the 1920s through 1940s. He was hired by Schultze and Weaver's New York office after he graduated from college but eventually moved to Miami in the mid-1920s.

By the late 1920s, Dixon changed firms and went to work for Paist and Steward where he was the associate architect for the Federal Court House and Post Office edifice which was constructed during the early 1930s. Shortly after, he formed his own architectural firm where he established his legacy as one of the most prolific and accomplished architects of the Art Deco era on Miami Beach.
