August Geiger (architect)

August Geiger (September 2, 1887[1] - 1968) was one of the most prominent American architects in South Florida from 1905 to the late 1940s.

He experimented in Mission, Neo-Renaissance and Art Deco architecture, but is most noted for his works in the Mediterranean Revival style.

Showing a talent for drawing and design, he determined to be an architect and secured a position in a New Haven firm.

In 1905, Geiger moved to Miami, where he had vacationed with his family since around 1899, and worked at a local architectural firm for 6 years.

He worked for Carl Fisher on various construction projects in Miami Beach, and was appointed architect for the Dade County School Board.
