Staying at The Cosmopolitan Hotel, you may have noticed a very peculiar feature on the floor.

Back in 1869, when the Seeleys built the hotel, the second story just sat on top of Casa de Bandini. During the restoration in the early 2000s, the upper level was finally attached to make the building safer in the event of an earthquake. These circles actually mark the locations where they drilled holes into the floor, put rebar down into the adobe, filled it with resin or epoxy and then sealed it back up.

Do you see it? Snap a photo and show us.
