Mad About Mid-Century Modern

Columbus Indiana is an interesting town. I went there when I was working on a project document fire houses all over the US. J. Irwin Miller created the Cummins Foundation, which subsidizes a large number of architectural projects throughout the city by up-and-coming engineers and architects. So they have this amazing collection of schools and other public buildings by famous architects - and because of that many of the famous architects also did other private buildings in town. We were there to see the Robert Venturi fire house http://www.greatbuildings.com/cgi-bin/gbi.cgi/Fire_Station_Number_4.html/cid_1145710937_P7410025.html , but this art deco one was even cooler! http://www.columbus.in.us/art-architecture/fire-station-no-1
