Old. Bvilding. Period.

2007 June 28

The letters “u” and “v” used to be written the same way — as “v”. So it makes sense when I see “Carnegie Bvilding” carved into stone. What doesn’t make sense is why so many old buildings names are terminated with a period (or what I assume is a period). Can anyone explain this to me?
