No, there are real live genuine swastikas on some old New York buildings too—not just the Greek Meander.

They usually appear these days in tile floors in the vestibules of buildings constructed between 1880 and 1910 or thereabouts; you don’t see many as a detail on building exteriors, whether because they were not much used or because they were removed during WWII.

one of these days someone will offer a subject that you know nothing about…what then?
