Thomas Dixon enjoyed a long and illustrious career in Baltimore. Among his many partnerships were Dixon & Wright<9> (ca. 1850-1851), Dixon, Balbirnie & Dixon (1852), T. & J. M. Dixon (1856-1863), Dixon & Davis (1867-1868), Dixon & Carson, (1871-1880), and Dixon & Kennedy (1880-1881). In between these prolific partnerships he practiced independently.

Dixon's work appears to have concentrated on public buildings of every sort, including the 1849 Indigent Women's Asylum (Dixon & Wright), the 1854 Baltimore County Courthouse in Towson (Dixon, Balbirnie & Dixon), and the 1862 Frederick County Courthouse. His later career also featured a number of Protestant churches, including the 1869 Sudbrook Presbyterian Church in Pikesville and the 1880 Arlington Presbyterian Church in Relay, MD (Dixon & Carson).
