Crystal Palace: 1940
May 1940. "Famous old bar in Tombstone, Arizona." Medium format acetate negative by Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Fylfot
The fylfot cross came to suggest flying feet or speed of travel. About 400 miles from Tombstone, a most welcome sign upon reaching Peach Springs was the promise of “Ladies Rest Rooms” and the good luck/flying feet swastika.

Traveling signpainter's dream
Two ladders on the roof, some supplies and his kit in the trunk, one could spend a week or two here and live like a king.
Fertile Ground for Film
Sources disagree about the exact number, but Hollywood has produced approximately twenty films set in Tombstone and dealing with the exploits of the Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Cowboys.
Those Swastikas
I'm pretty sure the Navajo symbol for good luck disappeared from the face of the bar in a year or so, never to return.
Today's Palace
If the photo is the same Crystal Palace as seen in Street View, they have done a significant overhaul.
Still There
The Tombstone Chamber of Commerce has more info than the place's webpage.
