Talk:Glen Mills station

Frank Furness?
What evidence is there that Frank Furness designed this station? The claim appears to be unsubstantiated (except by Waymarking). I'm going to removed the Frank Furness template from the article. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 16:39, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It is not listed in George E. Thomas, et al., Frank Furness: The Complete Works, (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, revised 1996).
 * It is not listed at Philadelphia Architects and Buildings.
 * It is not listed at frankfurness.org.


 * There is at least one book that states it's an unsure claim. I'd remove it until a true source can be found or completely disproven. Mitch 32 (The many fail: the one succeeds.) 17:23, 5 June 2017 (UTC)


 * User:Mitchazenia. Thanks for the quick response. Preston Thayer wrote his dissertation on Furness's railroad stations. I wonder if he addressed Glen Mills? == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 19:13, 5 June 2017 (UTC)


 * This may be the work of architect Joseph Wilson(https://www.philadelphiabuildings.org/pab/app/ar_display.cfm/21565), who designed the Morton Train Station (https://www.google.com/search?q=morton+station+pa&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiyvIPphqjUAhUK8CYKHRM7AmIQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1920&bih=901) which is very similar in appearance to Glen Mills and is regularly mistaken as a Furness design.Pajokie (talk) 01:22, 6 June 2017 (UTC)pajokie


 * Pajokie. Good call! Wilson Brothers & Company would have been my guess also. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 11:06, 6 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Wilson Brothers published a catalogue of their works in 1885. Glen Mills does not appear to be in it, unless it was under another name. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 11:16, 6 June 2017 (UTC)


 * User:BoringHistoryGuy Thanks for the Wilson catalougue info. There are many similarities - Glen Mills is a slightly more refined version of Morton and was constructed ~20 years later so it could be a copy from someone unknown also. Something worth doing some research on. Good Stuff! Pajokie (talk) 14:11, 6 June 2017 (UTC)pajokie
