This architectural feature from the early Ford Motor Company appears on a building on the South Side of Youngstown.

Where is the building located?

 :o I almost want to say the heck with where this is just look at it  :o  I know that I have a tendency to lean toward faith and religion but I was shocked to see the equiltateral triangle with wings yet ! ! !  The equilateeral triangle is used to depict The Trinity and is also used as the "halo" for God the Father in place of a circular "halo" for everyone else (including The Son and The Holy Spirit).  And then there are wings to this triangle adding even more of a spiritual/hevenly element.  The triangle can go back as far as the Pyramids of Egypt and the wings of some of their gods.  That this design of such subtle religious implication be on such a secular promotion - on stone yet - causes one to wonder about the thoughts of the person or persons who commissioned it.
Here goes one of my hints without telling exactly where it is - the directions include:  On southeast and directly north of South.
Once again Thank You Jay for a most interesting picture that goes beyond the norm!

   Dear Jay,
        Could this building be the old Donnell Ford Building on the corner of Market St and Delason Ave. ?
It is currently Ravenwood Motors.

The building with this architectural feature is not the Donnell Ford Building on Market Street.

Hint No.3 - The building is located east of Market Street.
