  • The Cliff Dwelling - 243 Riverside Drive
  • Was intrigued by the fire escape and the detail on the building - and only later on while putting together this album did I notice the swastikas :(<br /> But I did some research and here's what I found on <a href="http://www.aardvarkelectric.com/gargoyle/west2.html">http://www.aardvarkelectric.com/gargoyle/west2.html</a>: "Note the use of swastikas in the building's upper corners! The swastika is an ancient mystic symbol- which was found in both the New World and the Old. Since it was adopted by the Nazi's of course, the swastika has been hopelessly tainted and you'd never find it in a modern decorative motif (for good and obvious reasons). The Cliff Dwelling was built in 1911 though, before the symbol had any such negative connotations attached to it." Interesting.
