Here's photos from Columbus and Bloomington, Indiana. Although a small city (population 44,000 in 2010), Columbus, Indiana has established a worldwide reputation for its collection of modern architecture. Credit for this due to J. Irwin Miller, the CEO of Cummins, Inc.(a manufacturer of Diesel engines). Back in the 1940s, his firm paid architects fees for local schools, allowing them to afford hiring well-known architects. The community responded very positively to the buildings and it was continued through to the present.
