Fire Station No. 4 in Columbus, Indiana, United States, is a building designed by architect Robert Venturi. It is architecturally significant for being an early example of postmodern architecture.
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". The design features a trapezoidal plan, with a semicircular tower serving as the main entrance to the building. A notable feature of the tower is the large yellow number 4 located at its top.
