DescriptionPennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Cherry Street walkway from east.jpg
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts building at Broad and Cherry Streets in the Center City area of Philadelphia was built from 1872-1876 and was designed by Frank Furness and George Hewitt in a combination of historical styles. It was restored in 1976, and is a National Historic Landmark. (Source: Philadelphia Architecture: A Guide to the City) This image shows the Cherry Street walkway between the original (Furness-Hewitt) building (right) and the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building (left), a former Federal building and automobile factory purchased by the museum in 2002 and opened in 2006. In the walkway are two installations; in the foreground is Claes Oldenburg's Paint Torch (2011), and in the background is the Grumman Greenhouse by Jordan Griska, made from a Grumman S2F aircraft.
