The Cummins Engine
Company was built from a small company into a Fortune 500 international
business by J. Irwin Miller. Miller was the guiding force in the renovation
of Columbus Indiana and his Cummins Foundation paid the architects' fees
for many of the outstanding architectural works in the city of Columbus. Other views

landscaping, by Jack Curtis, is an integral part of the design. A large
green area on the east side is open to the public.

Cerealine Building housed Cummins' first factory and offices. Now renovated,
it serves as cafeteria for employees and a conference center. A reflecting
pond is on three of its sides.
