Columbus is located at the confluence of the Flatrock and Driftwood rivers in Bartholomew County, about 40 miles south of Indianapolis. The city became internationally known for its collection of modernist architecture, much of it funded through the Cummins Foundation beginning in the 1950s.
Cummins Inc., the diesel engine manufacturer founded in Columbus in 1919, offered to pay architect fees for public buildings on the condition that designers of national stature were selected. The result is a concentration of buildings by Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Cesar Pelli, Richard Meier, and others that is unusual for a city of 47,000 people. The American Institute of Architects ranks Columbus sixth in the nation for architectural innovation and design.
The engine and power generation industry remains the economic foundation. Cummins employs thousands locally and has its global headquarters downtown. Faurecia, NTN Driveshaft, and other automotive suppliers also operate in the area.
The Miller House and Garden, designed by Eero Saarinen with a garden by Dan Kiley, is one of the finest examples of mid-century modern residential architecture in the United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000.
