Furness is my favorite. After an architectural style falls out of vogue, it’s common to be seen as old fashioned and outdated. But it seems to me that institutional/commercial Victorian buildings were the most panned form of architecture in the decades that followed it’s time. I get it in some ways as I feel that the buildings have a severe look to them, if that makes sense. So many of his great works were lost but I had never known that the library was in danger at any point.

Great info and great pics!
