Graduating from Central High School, Philadelphia in 1873, Charles I. Berg had already begun on the path to architecture by enrolling in the Franklin Institute Drawing School for the 1872/73 session. From 1877 to 1879 he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and followed that with experience in architects' offices in London, England.
