Murray S. King

Murray S. King is a common mis-spelling of Murry S. King (1870-1925) Florida's first registered architect^[1], a noted American architect with a successful practice in Orlando, Florida, in the 1910s and 1920s.

Mr. King's first name appears both as "Murry" and "Murray" in contemporary sources and in Orlando histories. It is spelled "Murray" in contemporary references such as his business listing in many issues of The Winter Park Post and Orlando telephone directories, as well as the excellent photograph and brief biographical sketch of "Murray S. King" available at the following: http://www.cfhf.net/orlando/people/king.htm However, a photograph of downtown Orlando with the sign outside his office, recently found by Rick Kilby, shows the spelling as "Murry". One gathers that Mr. King was either unable to correct the frequent misspellings in print, or did not mind them, so long as people came to him for their architectural needs.
