Legends of LIC: The Shoemaker of Times Square |
By Bob Singleton, Executive Director, Greater Astoria Historical Society
|
By 1921 Miller had four stores in Manhattan and another in Brooklyn. There would be an additional dozen sales outlets by decade’s end. In 1924 he completed his second shoe factory, a seven-story loft building that covered half a block in Long Island City fronting 23rd Street between 43rd Avenue and 44th Drive. Its address was 43-10 23rd Street.
