BIOGRAPHY Furness was born in Philadelphia on November 12 , 1839 . His father, William Furness, was a prominent Unitarian minister and Abolitionist , and his brother, Horace Furness , was an outstanding Shakespeare scholar. Furness, however, did not attend a university and apparently did not travel to Europe. He is remembered for his eclectic, often idiosyncratically scaled buildings and for his influence on Louis Sullivan and the acclaimed 20th theater designer William Harold Lee . Although much of Furness' architectural designs were uniquely his own creation, Gothic Revival was a prevailing theme throughout.
