Jens Wende found this very interesting RM on the island of Sylt, Germany. Take a good look at this one. the flag has the design in the logo of the Tommy Hilfiger Company and the number 1985 is the year that Hilfiger introduced his signature line. The house was part of a Hilfiger promotion - here's a link. they built a similar house in New York. Here's a link to the building of the one in New York - you can catch a quick glimpse of a RM there, too, but it doesn't look as rusty as the one in Sylt.

I pass by this RM about once a week. It's on Dublin Road just south of Dublin, Ohio, in front of a house that has a sign noting it was built circa 1840. Today was a good chance to stop and take a picture. I got out of the car and was ready to snap when I discovered the camera had a dead battery! My wife's iPhone was available and I used it - not too bad for a phone camera.
