A few years ago we visited the newly refurbished West Baden Springs Hotel, near French Lick, Indiana. It is quite stunning. Originally built in 1900-ish, there are swastikas in the cast iron porch posts. They had information in several places explaining that the swastika was a symbol for luck prior to being used by the Nazis.
