Near visitor's center and really reveals itself during the tour. This bulding tells the tale of how this movement evolved.
This building was designed by the elder Saarinen, and looks as fresh and vital as it did when it was erected 70 years ago. The wonderful way that the windows light the building in such a simple way is truly stunning. Be sure to sit awhile, and take in the beauty of this building. This - and the other buildings in this wonderful city - is worth a special trip.
Historically significant in this town of amazing architecture, but not appealing inside. A very nice Cranbrook woven tapistry in the Chancel.
This 1964 church is hexagon shaped with communion table in center; has a150' central spire; mostly concrete & glass structure. Definitely different & impressive design!
The Church , not only being a very beautiful Church building is very friendly , warm and always makes all feel as if they really belong and wanting to return. The Leaders are very good and very informative.
We couldn't see the inside when we were in Columbus, but were definitely glad we got to stop by the church. It's such an interesting design and the Large Arch scultpure across the street makes for an awesome photo.
the tapestry represents jesus' "sermon on the mount" in matthew 5'7. it stands along the right wall in the sanctuary and is surely a wonderful sight.
Columbus is known for its architecture. This is one of many with the Bartholomew County Library just across the street. You get to see two beautiful buildings with one stop.
Completed in 1942 by Eliel Saarinen, this is a great modernist interpretation of the traditional longitudinal church form.
We took the Columbus city tour, where an interior tour was the first main stop. One of the claims is that this Eliel Saarinen church was the spark that started modern architecture in the US. We cannot dispute or confirm this, but you can see many amazing innovations that he applied here.
