Regal Shoe store windows broken
The only mention of damage to Regal Shoes other than the report of Vivien's arrest was the store's inclusion in a list of businesses with broken windows compiled by a reporter from La Prensa the next day. Regal Shoes continued in business after the disorder. The MCCH business survey from the second half of 1935 includes the store, whose address it gives as 2097 7th Avenue, rather than 166 West 125th Street as in the reports of the looting. The store also appears in the Tax Department photograph taken between 1939 and 1941, of the building labeled 2901 7th Avenue.
