The interior of the Shaffer Hotel and Dining Room in Mountainair, New Mexico. It was built in 1923.
It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The ornate folk art ceiling has various patterns and shapes on the ceiling. You may think you see the Nazi swastika, but it's a Navajo symbol, sometimes called "whirling logs," that represents healing, and can face either left or right.
