The 5 Nations


Somehow a developer in Conshohocken PA decided at some point in the '70s to dedicate a highrise to one of the greatest of the Native American Tribes of the 5 Nations. Apparently ignoring the fact that the tribe resided mostly in upstate New York and Canada.

Whatever the case may be, the lettering is amazing. The "s" gives the whole building a jaunty air that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist on the interior, and the "a" and "p" makes me think this should have been a logo for a failed ABA team in Rochester.
