In the late 1930s the city fathers of Columbus, situated to the south of Indianapolis, commissioned the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen to redevelop part of the city. Saarinen brought in other leading architects, and as a result Columbus is now a museum of modern architecture, with buildings designed by Saarinen, I.M. Pei, J.C. Warnke, Kevin
Roche and other distinguished names.
A great day can be had just strolling the streets of Columbus soaking up the atmosphere and visiting unique shops and restaurants. While touring, be sure to visit the Franklin Street, this is where you will find a great selection of historically significant restored buildings.
