Addison Mizner

architect, interior designer, humorist

1872  – 1933

Addison Cairns Mizner was an American architect whose Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival style interpretations changed the character of southern Florida, where the style is continued by architects and land developers. During the 1920s Mizner was perhaps the best-known living American architect. Palm Beach, Florida, which he "transformed", was his home, and most of his houses are there. He believed that architecture should also include interior and garden design, and initiated the company Mizner Industries to have a reliable source of components. He was "an architect with a philosophy and a dream". Boca Raton, Florida, an unincorporated small farming town that was established in 1896, became the site of Mizner's most famous development project.
