Furness's independence and modernist Victorian-Gothic style inspired 20th-century architects [[Louis Kahn]] and [[Robert Venturi]]. Living in Philadelphia and teaching at the [[University of Pennsylvania]], they often visited Furness's [[Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts]] — built for the 1876 Centennial — and his [[Fisher Fine Arts Library|University of Pennsylvania Library]].
