Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts - Frank Furness and Thomas Eakins

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts building at 118-128 North Broad Street was designed by architect Frank Furness and opened in the 1870s; it is considered one of Furness's major works. The academy is the oldest art school and museum in the United States and is closely associated with painter and instructor Thomas Eakins, who studied and later taught there. The site houses historic galleries and classrooms tied to these figures in American art history.
