Frank Furness Influences - George Edward Harney ?

I used to take the bus downtown via Broadway on occasion and once thought that 670 Broadway was by Frank Furness. The building was a lot dirtier back when, and so was the PAFA at one time for comparison shopping. The patina sort of added to my false Frank Furness assessment. I have since found that the building with the 1873 date in Iron on the front of the building, the iron number pieces which were once painted black btw in my memory, was by the architect George Edward Harney from New York

George Edward Harney. 

That there is a 1870 book that Harney published and I cannot but see shades of a later Furness in the designs for stables and outbuildings and fences that Furness no doubt had access to at Leary's book store on 9th street.


Stable, Outbuildings and Fences

Shades of the Philadelphia Zoo?

Shades of the B & O Train Station?

Whatever?
