Colombus, Indiana

Mi Hyun told me aboout Colombus Indiana. Lists 6th on the AIA list of architectural cities. Irwin Miller, cofounder of Cummins Industries (make diesel motors) created a fund that pays for Architect's fees if the Owner uses one of the Architects on their list. First startes for schools. Applies now for other buildings too.

I took the guided bus tour.

There are about 70 buildings in Colombus by well known Architects. The first project was the First Christian Church by Eliel Saarinen.
