Provides a brief biography of Urban including architectural education. Synder takes umbrage with author of 1980 article [link to the record for the 1980 article at the bottom of this library record] in crediting Urban as an architect of certain buildings in Lancaster. According to this article, Urban was not the architect for the Woolworth building nor the architect for St Paul's Church, but he did served as a local consultant on the projects. Synder indicates that the former Fulton Bank on Penn Square has been attributed to Urban but that Urban had not claimed role of architect nor of consultant.
