'''Fire Station No. 4''' in [[Columbus, Indiana]], United States, is a building designed by architect [[Robert Venturi]]. It is architecturally significant for being an early example of [[postmodern architecture]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Fire_Station_Number_4.html|title=Fire Station Number 4 by Robert Venturi at GreatBuildings|website=GreatBuildings}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://52weeks.rickyberkey.org/2011/07/17/week-26/|title=Week 26 (Fire Station #4)|date=July 17, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Architecture==<br />
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".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://venturiscottbrown.org/pdfs/FireStation401.pdf|title=Fire Station # 4}}</ref> The design features a [[trapezoid]]al plan, with a [[Semicircle|semicircular]] tower serving as the main entrance to the building. Notable about this tower is the large yellow number 4 which has been placed on top.<br />
