Reno Post Office Counter Ledge

Check out the swastikas on the counter ledges at the Reno post office. They have a bunch of cool, old art-deco stuff in there.

From Wikipedia: "The Reno, Nevada Post Office features both left and right facing swastikas, along with other designs typical of "Zig Zag Moderne" style, later known as a variation of "Art Deco". It was designed in 1932 by Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps, who had previously served as the Nevada State Architect.[54] The building was financed in part by the federal Civil Works Administration and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
