Liggett's Drug Store windows broken (8th Avenue & West 125th St)
The Liggett's Drug Store is not in the MCCH business survey, which does not include any stores on the corner of that building, the Bishop Building, only a shoe store at 273 West 125th Street and a bank at 277 West 125th Street, and the Danbury hat store and a barber at 2336 8th Avenue (the hat store address was actually 2334 8th Avenue). Mention of the drug store in that location in an article in the New York Amsterdam News in 1932 about a man charged with throwing a brick through the store window (with the address given as 281 West 125th Street) and in the caption of a photograph of picketing of the store in 1938 also in the New York Amsterdam News confirms that the drug store was on the corner prior to when the Tax Department photograph was taken between 1939 and 1941.
