Lawrence Murray Dixon

Lawrence Murray Dixon (February 16, 1901 – October 8, 1949) was an architect in Miami Beach, Florida.

He was born in Live Oak, Florida, attended the Georgia School of Technology (1918–1919) and worked in New York for Schultze and Weaver from 1923 to 1929 when he moved to Miami Beach.

The show American Experience called Dixon and Henry Hohauser the principal architects of Deco South Beach, including "streamlined curves, jutting towers, window "eyebrows," and neon."

Such buildings were less expensive and less ornamented than those by Carl Fisher, such as the Flamingo and "seemed perfectly suited to a city created for sun, sand, and relaxation.
