Furness & Evans
Furness & Evans was a Philadelphia architectural partnership, established in 1881, between noted architect Frank Furness and his former chief draftsman, Allen Evans. In 1886, other employees were made partners, and the firm became Furness, Evans & Company. George Howe worked in the firm and later became a partner at Mellor & Meigs, another Philadelphia firm.
A number of its works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[1]
