Frank Furness: A Talk and Tour

Explore the work of one of Philadelphia’s most colorful architects by taking this comprehensive, first-of-its-kind tour. Buildings that have been demolished or that are beyond walking distance will be discussed by illustrated presentation inside the Furness-designed First Unitarian Church. After the presentation, join your guide for a walking tour of nearby Furnessian gems. 

Meet at the sanctuary at the First Unitarian Church at 2125 Chestnut Street.
