I see it quite a bit adorning the entrances to homes in the area occupied by Hindus.

About 25 years ago I visited a friend who had just moved into an apartment building in an old section of Pittsburgh. The building probably dated from the early 1900s.

When I went inside I couldn’t help but gasp a little to see that the floor in the entry way was done in swastika tile. It didn’t just appear that way—the design was deliberate. Even though he was a big lib, we both got a good laugh out of it. I wish I had taken a picture.

When the building was built, of course, the symbol didn’t have that connotation. But I’m sure they’ve replaced the floor since.
