Miami has throughout the years attracted talented architects that have shaped and molded Miami the way it is today. Miami Beach started to attract its residents in the 20's and became a prominent tourist destination attracting mainly snowbirds from the north. The Art deco movements were born in different cities of the world at the same time, but Miami Beach was certainly one of the most influential. Miami was formidably well preserved from real estate developers and in 1979 the Miami Beach Art deco district was officially listed on the national register of historic places.

The Art deco district is renowned for being the largest collection of art deco architecture in the world. Several hundred buildings, commercial buildings, apartment buildings and hotels were erected from the 20's to the 40's. The preservation movement was created and animated by the famous Barbara Capitman. Some of the big names in the art deco architects include Henri Hohauser and Murray Dixon. Henry Hohauser went to school in Brooklyn New York and moved to Florida in 1932 where he quickly emerged as on of the most prominent architects. Some of his most popular work includes the Cardozo hotel built in 1939, the Colony hotel in 1935, the Essex house hotel in 1938 and the Edison hotel in 1935.
