The Corn Palace of Mitchell, South Dakota in 1905 with a swastika on the front. A Nazi Corn Palace? It does have a swastika on the front but the photo is from 1905. So it is a non-nazi swastika.
The Corn Palace is a building decorated with ears of corn all over the exterior. "WTF" you say? I was there once as a kid and that was my thoughts exactly.

When you visit the corn palace, it states on that specific image that the sign is actually first and foremost known as a good luck symbol by the Native Americans. And was placed on the corn palace before the Nazi's adopted it, basically giving it the opposite meaning.

I have a postcard from 1907 of the Corn Palace and there is a swastika, but apparantly it meant something much different in 1907
