I always wonder how the "ordinary Joe's" in Columbus reacted to this church at the time. <br />Ricky Berkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535558137008412293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842483528656738212.post-25598273945775128782011-06-26T13:57:50.298-07:002011-06-26T13:57:50.298-07:00Sara, a trip to Columbus is not to be missed.

It's truly and amazing place.<br /><br />James, I agree completely with all of your tour recommendations. In the Midwest, these are definitely some of our gems, yes?A Year at the Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836965128291916468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842483528656738212.post-12844911741912530532011-06-26T07:40:42.765-07:002011-06-26T07:40:42.765-07:00My first Columbus experience was a field trip for ...My first Columbus experience was a field trip for U of I architecture students in 1965. The trip was worth many many many lectures and photo sessions - we all discovered during those few days how important first hand experience of buildings and context is. I always recommend a trip there to anyone who expresses interest in learning or experiencing good architecture. Next on the list is any of the Chicago Architecture Foundation tours and the Wright tours in Oak Park.James D.

This piece resonates, for me, bringing up great memories of time at Cranbrook (in the late 1960s, and again in the 1980s), and certainly prompts me to think about getting out to Columbus, IN. I recently had the pleasure of a couple of concerts at both the MIT Chapel and the large Auditorium there, designed by Saarinens.<br />Your posting the article, photos, and commentary on your very rewarding find in an old Indianapolis newspaper makes this dratted computer worthwhile.<br />Sara Chase, Preservation ConsultantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
