The Fisher Fine Arts Library, formerly known as the Furness Library, is located in Philadelphia on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania, on the east side of College Green. Designed by the acclaimed Philadelphia architect Frank Furness (1839–1912), the red sandstone, brick-and-terra-cotta Venetian Gothic giant—part fortress and part cathedral—was built to be the primary library of the University, and to house its archeological collection. The cornerstone was laid in October 1888, construction was completed in late 1890, and the building was dedicated in February 1891. Renamed the Furness Building after its architect, the building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.
