"Columbus's Unscrupulous Past... Dubbed the 'Athens of the Prairie' for its array of stunning modern architecture, Columbus still endured its share of unsavory citizens, crime-ridden neighborhoods and tales of woe. Many residents avoided the infamous slums of Smoky Row and Death Valley, while others gave in to the allure of Lillian "Todie" Tull's famed house of ill repute on North Jackson Street. Two different father-and-son hoodlum partnerships, the McKinneys and the Bells, terrorized the area in the 1800s. And a brutal fistfight between a newspaper editor and the mayor sparked a scandal in 1877. Author Paul J. Hoffman guides the reader on a wild ride through the city's salacious side." -- back cover

Founded in 1821, Columbus, Indiana, had grown into a thriving manufacturing region by the end of the 19th century. Columbus might have remained a community like most other small towns, but a group of citizens with an extraordinary vision developed a program to bring world-renowned architects to the city. Beginning in the mid-20th century, Columbus was transformed into a center of modern architecture--ranked sixth in the United States in architectural innovation by the American Institute of Architects (after Chicago, New York, Washington, San Francisco, and Boston). This collection of more than 200 vintage postcards features some of Columbus's earliest important buildings and its later architectural gems.

Chosen as the Bartholomew County seat in 1821, Columbus's location at the confluence of the Driftwood and Flat Rock Rivers served the area's economy well. As industry prospered, the town grew, and a unique and inspiring architectural history began. During the late 1800s, construction began on many of the city's finest architectural gems, including the Bartholomew County Courthouse, City Hall, and McKinley and Garfield Schools. Residents have protected these treasures and maintained the city's architectural integrity. Today, Columbus is recognized world-wide for its dynamic architecture and is home to over 50 public and private buildings, each exemplifying the creativity of the architect and ingenuity of the citizens who made it possible.

Since its founding in 1821, Columbus, Indiana, has changed greatly-from an early agricultural town to a small modern city with varied business and industry. Today Columbus is most famous for its architectural gems from the past half century, but many historic buildings from early Columbus still exist. As Columbus has changed, its buildings have changed as well.
