Frank Heyling Furness (November 12, 1839 - June 27, 1912) was an American architect of the
Victorian era. He designed more than 600 buildings, most in the
Philadelphia area, and is remembered for his diverse, muscular, often unordinarily scaled buildings, and for his influence on the Chicago architect
Louis Sullivan. Furness also received a
Medal of Honor for bravery during the
Civil War.
