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.
