Frank Furness Probably Did Not Design These Beautiful Houses In Merion

by Gerry October 20, 2023

Two Not Furness Houses

Contrary to what you might have been told, or at least contrary to what I have been told, these two houses next door to each other on Hazelhurst Avenue in Merion were probably not designed by the Philadelphia Architect Frank Furness.  A search of Philadelphiabuildings.org (an excellent rabbit hole) reveals only two properties on or near Hazelhurst Avenue in Merion. … [Read more...] about Frank Furness Probably Did Not Design These Beautiful Houses In Merion

No one in history is more closely associated with […]
