Fire Station No. 4 in Columbus, Indiana was designed by architect Robert Venturi. It is architecturally significant for being an early example of postmodern architecture.[1][2]

Architecture

In 1967, Venturi was asked by the fire department of the city of Columbus to design a fire station, which was to be an "ordinary building that was easy to maintain".[3] The design features a trapezoidal plan, with a semicircular tower serving as the main entrance to the building. Notable about this tower is the large yellow number 4 which has been placed on top.
