What a delight for the eye. Especially the "water level" marker holding it all together. Did you get the feeling the number was an more recent addition? Both the colour and the font are striking.

Definitely got the feeling that the 3 (and the orange) came as an afterthought and was put there well after the rest of the structure was built.

Who is the person who put it there? It looks like a tiny secret. It certainly isn't for identifying the building. It's about the size of a quarter. One of my favorite weird mysteries of the city.
