He was educated at private schools in the city, but never attended a college or university. Instead in 1857 he was apprenticed to architect John Fraser. Two years later he entered the New York studio of Richard Morris Hunt where he learned the eclectic medieval form which he would use throughout his career. 0When Furness returned to Philadelphia in 1866, he received his first commission for a new Germantown section of the Philadelphia. The following year, Furness entered into his first architectural partnership, joining established architects John Fraser, his former mentor, and George Hewitt. During the early 1870's this team designed the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.0From 1875 on, Furness moved away from European revival styles, looking instead to the American West and to the American industrial age as inspirations for his dynamic and original buildings. He found an appreciative audience in industrial Philadelphia. By the time of his fiftieth birthday in 1889, Furness had designed more than three hundred buildings in Philadelphia, including a number of major city landmarks. During his career he designed numerous stations for the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads, as well as banks, residences, office buildings, and churches. 600 10 $a Furness, Frank, $d 1839-1912. 600 17 $a Furness, Frank, $d 1839-1912. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00083656 650 0 $a Architecture $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Architecture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Architecture $z Philadelphia. $z Philadelphia. 650 7 $a Architecture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813346 651 7 $a Pennsylvania $z Philadelphia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204170 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Hess, Alan, $d 1952- $e writer of foreword. 830 0 $a Haney Foundation series. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211025925.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605014500.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1327077C688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
