Went to school at PA Academy and his work at PAFA was an inspiration.

His buildings jump out at you being of one who likes to take the whole picture in an savor it his architecture drives my mind / eyes çrazy

Furness taught Sullivan, Sullivan taught Frank Lloyd Wright. See the pattern.

I think Frank Furness built the most beautiful buildings ever in the Philadelphia region. Only city hall, Reading Terminal, and lit bros buildings tail behind his designs. Everything else since has been architectural garbage. Thats all we build today rubbish no art or beauty.......I will love his designs forever.
