The Cuban regime demolished the ruins of the iconic RCA Victor store in Havana, on Neptuno street, which had severely deteriorated after decades of neglect.
The portal Árbol Invertido reported on its Facebook page that the location has disappeared, and it recalled that RCA Victor was one of the most prominent divisions of the RCA radio company since its founding in January 1929 following the acquisition of the Victor Talking Machine Company.
The company was a key player in the evolution of radio both worldwide and in Cuba.
Since its beginnings, American technology quickly reached Cuba, and on April 21, 1930, the Diario de la Marina announced the opening of "La Víctor," previously known as RCA Víctor, a prominent store located at Neptuno Street No. 405, Centro Habana, specializing in televisions, radios, record players, and gramophones.
However, after various transformations, the emblematic venue had deteriorated, and finally, its historic facade has been demolished, lamented the media, which accused the regime of trying to "demolish and erase history."
The facility had turned into a huge dump.
Havana is full of ruins from the past, in a state of serious decay, and with the government doing nothing to recover the emblematic buildings that speak of the city's former greatness.
