welcome

Columbus is a unique city that prides itself on being “unexpected and unforgettable.” Columbus is the county seat of Bartholomew County, where Midwest farming traditions have merged with modern manufacturing and service industries. Though located squarely in America’s heartland, Columbus is truly an international city. People from all over the world call Columbus home. Currently 44 different native languages are spoken by students within the public school system. Much of the area’s ethnic diversity stems from the business community. More than 30 international companies from countries such as Japan, China, India, Germany, Korea and Canada have facilities here. Cummins Inc., headquartered in Columbus, is a global company that brings many international employees to the community. We think the information on these pages will prove invaluable to newcomers as they settle in to life in Columbus. Our hope is that newcomers will learn just how much Columbus has to offer. This has never been a city to settle for “good enough.” Columbus is still guided by the vision expressed in 1964 by the late J. Irwin Miller, former Cummins chairman and philanthropist. “We would like to see the community come to be not the cheapest in America, but the very best community of its size in the country. We would like to see it become the city in which the smartest, the ablest, the best young families anywhere would like to live … a community that is open to every race, color and opinion; that makes them feel welcome and at home here … a community which will offer their children the best education available anywhere … a community of strong, outspoken churches, of genuine cultural interests, exciting opportunities for recreation. No such community can be built without citizens determined to make their community best.” Fifty-two years later the city has come a long way toward fulfilling Miller’s vision. Columbus is ranked sixth in the nation for Innovative Architecture Design by the American Institute of Architects. It has also been recognized as one of the 100 Best Small Art Towns in America, one of the Safest Metropolitan Areas (America’s Safest Cities), one of the Best Places to Live and Launch a Business (Fortune Small Business magazine) and one of the top Historical Places in the World (National Geographic Traveler magazine). So welcome! Make yourself at home. We hope this publication will smooth your path and help you take full advantage of all that life in Columbus has to offer.

There’s a popular saying that goes, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.” While things really aren’t quite that unpredictable, Columbus definitely has four distinct seasons. Over the course of a year, wardrobe requirements will range from shorts and T-shirts to snow boots and parkas. The average high temperature for the year is 62 degrees Fahrenheit, though hot summer days frequently register in the 90s. The average low temperature is 43 degrees. While temperatures below zero are fairly rare, they do occur. The coldest month is January, with an average low temperature of 18.5 degrees and an average high of 34.5. The warmest month is July, with an average high of 85.6 degrees and an average low of 65.2. The most significant severe weather threat in this area comes in the form of springtime thunderstorms that can pack high winds, hail and even tornadoes. The city is equipped with storm warning sirens that public safety officials sound when severe weather threatens. *Note: Severe weather warning sirens are tested at noon on the first Friday of every month.

Miller House and Garden

The public now has the chance to visit the former home of the late J. Irwin and Xenia Miller, one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most highly regarded examples of mid-century Modernist residences. In 2009, members of the Miller family donated the Highland Way house and gardens, along with many of the original furnishings, to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The IMA, working with the Columbus Area Visitors Center, offers public guided tours of the house and gardens. Tour schedules and tickets are available online at columbus.in.us or imamuseum. org. Cost for the tour is $20, and all tours originate at the Visitors Center. 16 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Spring 2016

Commissioned in 1952, the Miller house was designed by Eero Saarinen, with interiors by Alexander Girard and landscape design by Daniel Urban Kiley. In 2000, the property was designated a National Historic Landmark, the first listed with a still-living landscape architect that also was still occupied by its original owners at the date of its designation. The house features an open and flowing layout, flat roof and vast stone and glass walls. The rooms, configured beneath a grid pattern of skylights supported by cruciform steel columns, are filled with strong colors and playful patterns. Amid the residenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large geometric gardens, its grandest feature is a path lined by honey locust trees that runs along the west side of the house.

Architecture

A display of excellence To the casual observer, Columbus might seem an unlikely place for architectural masterpieces. Situated in southern Indiana, divided by rivers and creeks, the city rises from the prairie like corn in surrounding fields. The city’s architectural adventure began with First Christian Church, which Eliel Saarinen, a Finnish architect, designed at the request of the congregation. Completed in 1942, it anchors a city block. Its tower, different from the traditional steeples of religious buildings, is visible throughout downtown. The notion that a small town could be home to architecturally significant buildings was not lost on community leaders. Through the Cummins Engine Foundation, and leadership of J. Irwin Miller, an offer was made to pay the architectural fees for the design of a much-needed public school. Later, the offer was extended for all public buildings if the architects were selected from a foundation list. Today there are more than 60 public and private buildings designed by notable architects. Columbus is one of six cities in the United States to have such a significant concentration of buildings by prominent architects. Other cities with the distinction are Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago and San Francisco. In 1994 the city was selected as the site of the Pritzker Architecture Prize award ceremony. Among the notable structures are Bartholomew County Public Library, by I. M. Pei (1969); Cummins Irwin Office Building, Eero Saarinen (1954); Clifty Creek Elementary School, Richard Meier (1982); The Republic, Myron Goldsmith of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (1971); St. Peter’s Lutheran Church (1988) and Columbus Signature Academy Lincoln Campus (1967), both by Gunnar Birkerts. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, with a copper-clad roof, has a 186-foot steeple. Another famous spire on the horizon is that of North Christian Church. That building, designed by Eliel Saarinen’s son, Eero, has a 192-foot spire, the tallest in the city. Many of the well-known buildings are in the downtown area, mixed with historic structures from Columbus’ early years. The shops along the city’s main street — Washington Street — have been restored or maintained to keep their historical perspective. The courthouse, built in 1874, anchors the southern edge of downtown. Next to it is a limestone monument to Bartholomew County veterans who died serving their country. The old blends with the new as life moves on. 18 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Spring 2016

It’s not only the buildings that make up the interesting Columbus streetscape. Mill Race Park, built along a flood plain, was designed to withstand the flooding that can occur at the confluence of the Driftwood and Flat Rock rivers. The park boasts an 84-foot tower and an amphitheater with seating for 500. The park also has walking trails and a covered bridge. Across the street, Cummins Inc. occupies a threeblock complex. The Fortune 500 company is the city’s No. 1 employer and its Corporate Office Building one of the city’s architectural highlights. Fine lines, cornice stones and creative vision make Columbus what it is today.

The arts

enriching lives The arts play a big role in the life of Columbus, from classical music to interpretive dance to good old rock ’n’ roll. The Columbus Area Arts Council is a private, nonprofit organization that promotes the arts in and around Columbus. It produces arts programming for all ages throughout the year, including Neighborfest, First Fridays for Families and an open iron pour. The arts council also brings public art to Columbus through the Sculpture Biennial. Information: www.artsincolumbus.org. Columbus has two symphony orchestras. Columbus Indiana Philharmonic, under the direction of conductor David Bowden, often hosts prestigious guests at its concerts. It also invests heavily in education programs, such as a children’s choir and a strings camp. The philharmonic was launched in 1987 with financial support from local businesses and foundations, support which continues to help the orchestra thrive today. Columbus Symphony Orchestra is the oldest orchestra in the state, having given its first concert at the Crump Theatre in May 1923. “Eos” by Dessa Kirk is a winged sculpture in the Fifth Street median facing Mill However, the oldest musical group Race Park. | photo by Dario Impini in the city is Columbus City Band, in If you’re interested in taking in a movie, you have your existence since 1843.

As usual for Columbus buildings, the Bartholomew County Public Library is architecturally unique. The New York firm of I.M. Pei and Partners, Architects, designed the building, which was dedicated May 16, 1971. Bartholomew County Public Library, designed by I.M. Pei, is a sculptured brick pavilion formalized by the east and west walls and cornice. The design brings daylight to the lower level. An integral concrete coffer slab and brick bearing wall construction are the main features of the design. The landscaping features trees, surrounded by brick and concrete, in a courtyard. The view of the First Christian Church campanile has been retained, and the open space of the immediate library area contrasts with nearby tree-lined streets. Pei is the recipient of many awards for outstanding achievements in architectural design, including the 2010 Royal Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects. His concern for the integrity of materials, his attention to the details of form, color and texture, and his awareness of spatial relationships are reflected in his designs. Henry Moore’s “Large Arch” sculpture was installed on the library plaza on April 15, 1971. The sculpture is a focal point to control the space of the plaza between the two architectural masses presented by the library and the Eliel Library services Saarinen-designed First ChrisA wide range of materials, services, informational and tian Church. entertainment programs and facilities is available for BarThe natural organic quality of the sculpture, similar to rocks tholomew County residents.

mill race park

36 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Spring 2016

In 1963, the acreage known as “Death Valley” on the east bank of White River was considered one of the most poverty-stricken areas in Columbus. Now, as Mill Race Park, it hosts Columbus’ favorite events, attracting throngs of people. The tract contained the Death Valley urban renewal area, the former W.W. Mooney tannery site and woods and farmland near where the East Fork of White River is formed. Prior to the 1960s, people lived along the river in shacks made of tar paper and wood scraps. The spring rains flooded the land, leaving a muddy residue on a blighted landscape. City leaders began a fund drive in 1963 to raise $145,000 to purchase 66 acres from the residents for the park, pay for limited development and hire a park planner. By the fall of 1964, city workers had cut a roadway into the woods near the river and gravel pits. They also cleared the underbrush. Residents raised $18,500 by June 1966 to move the Clifty Creek covered bridge from Azalia Road to Mill Race Park. Otherwise, the bridge would have been destroyed to make way for a concrete bridge. A two-car, 20-passenger steam-powered train copied after the General of Civil War fame was dedicated in 1967 as a tourist attraction. But the train cars suffered technical problems and sagging interest by the public. In 1969, the city built an outdoor theater west of the former tannery site near Lindsey Street. However, the pole building was damaged by wind six years later. Artist Richard Bauer’s 15-foot-tall welded steel sculpture, Skopos, meaning “the watcher,” guarded the park’s entrance. It was dedicated in September 1979. Two shelter houses, a boat ramp and a playground with swings were also added to the park during that time. While looking forward to the quincentennial anniversary in 1992 of Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to the New World, the town searched for a project that would continue to benefit the community long after the celebration. Residents found that an important dream, the park at Fifth and Lindsey streets, had been partially realized almost 30 years before. They decided to continue the development of Mill Race Park, a resource that could be greatly enhanced. Foundations, companies and individuals agreed to take part and eventually pledged nearly $4 million to build structures and redesign the landscape. Landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh incorporated the beauty of the riverfront and the park’s proximity to the heart of the city in the design. He made the site a water-dominated landscape by celebrating its proximity to the rivers. A round lake was excavated, with the soil creating mounds similar to those made by American Indians in southern Indiana. Plants that tolerate flooding were selected. Spaces were designed to accommodate lunch time visitors or a class that comes to the park to study flora. The Custer-Nugent Amphitheater was constructed and today hosts many musical and theatrical events during the warmer months. The renovated Mill Race Park opened in October 1992.

People Trails Columbus, long known for its architecture, is often referred to as the “Athens of the Prairie.” Perhaps, thanks to its extensive People Trails system, Columbus could also be called the “Athens of the Trail System.” Following a 1983 master plan update, a committee formed with the purpose of creating a trail system for walkers, runners and bikers around the community. The first section, stretching from Lincoln Park to Donner Park along 19th Street, opened in 1987, and the system has grown slowly but steadily over the years. The Columbus Parks and Recreation Department works to make each trail section universally usable. The department also attempts to preserve as many trees as possible, which allows for many scenic and peaceful miles of paved trails.

38 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Spring 2016

Visiting trail-goers have plenty to see as they stroll, jog or ride through city neighborhoods and parks. The trails also pass close to two creeks, three rivers, plenty of grassy areas and farmland. However, the more than 20 miles of organized trails are not only open to bicyclists, walkers and runners. These people-friendly pathways are actually open to anything people-powered, which includes skateboards, unicycles and in-line skates. Also, when the People Trails were developed, those with physical challenges were taken into consideration. Wheelchairs, both motorized and hand-powered, are always welcome. If you come to visit and enjoy the People Trails, rest assured that Rover or Spot is welcome to tag along but that horses, cars and motorcycles are prohibited.

downtown

the commons The rebirth of The Commons perfectly embodies the overall renaissance of downtown Columbus.

40 DISCOVER COLUMBUS | Spring 2016

In name and location, The Commons has been a fixture in the heart of the business and entertainment district since 1972. Completely rebuilt in 2011, it serves its function as a community hub in a manner fitting for a new century. The ground floor houses the lobby, 8,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, a children’s playground and a food court. A performance space and patio are situated on the upper level. The centerpiece of the lobby is “Chaos I,” a mechanical sculpture designed by Swiss artist Jean Tinguely that had been an inescapable presence in the old Commons since 1974. While its various movements are an endless source of fascination, it can easily be turned off during performances or meetings. The playground’s most visually arresting feature is the Luckey Climber. This net-enclosed biomorphic climbing system was designed by Tom Luckey and his son, Spencer, a Connecticut-based team that has installed such structures in various U.S. cities and Mexico City. Those who scale its full height of 44 feet have a panoramic view of the rest of the playground, the lobby and the courthouse. The performance space seats up to 450 at tables for banquets or 700 in a theater-style arrangement. The stage boasts an impressive lighting system. Behind it are dressing rooms and a catering kitchen. A smaller stage on the lower level, behind “Chaos,” is suited to meetings or a lunchtime music series. The Columbus Area Arts Council has its offices in The Commons. Among the annual events at The Commons are the arts council’s UnCommon Cause fundraiser, First Fridays for Families and the prom for Columbus East and North high schools. The building is certified to a silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, level by the U.S. Green Building Council. The roof, designed by Michigan-based Live Roof, is covered with vegetative material that provides insulation and storm water absorption. Trees are featured on the patio designed to invite informal socializing in keeping with the entire facility’s intended role as a central gathering spot for the city. Koetter Kim of Boston is the design architect, and CSO Architects of Indianapolis is the architect of record. Three sides are enclosed in glass, and over 15 types of glass were used.
