Architecture
In 1967, Venturi was asked by the fire department of the city of Columbus to design a fire station, which was to be an "ordinary building that was easy to maintain".[3] The design features a trapezoidal plan, with a semicircular tower serving as the main entrance to the building. A notable feature of the tower is the large yellow number 4 located at its top.
