Columbus, Indiana

On vacation recently in the US we stopped in Columbus, Indiana. Columbus is famous for its architecture. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very good that day and we didn't have much time, but I did manage to visit a few highlights....

First is the First Christian Church. This was the first modern building in Columbus. Designed by Eliel Saarinen and completed in 1942.

Then we went to the First National Bank, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1954. This one is famous for the domed ceiling lights (which you can't see in the pictures :). Unfortunately the bank wasn't open, but it looks like the interior is still original.

Last but not least was the North Christian Church. Also designed by Eero Saarinen and completed in 1964. This was the last building he designed before his death in 1961. Very impressive....
