National Historical Landmark- Furness Library, School of Fine Arts, University of Pennsylvania

Completed in 1890, this is a major work by an important late-19th-century architect, Frank Furness (1839-1912).

The red-brick Gothic style structure has Romanesque elements and distinctive, monumental foliate detailing; an uncompromising functional masterpiece, it is one of the last Ruskinian Victorian Buildings.
