During the Civil War Tiffany’s made cannons for the Union. During the draft riots of 1863 they wheeled them out and lined them up in front of their store. It wasn’t looted.

Tiffany’s also made sabers for the Union soldiers.

The editor of the New York Times also got ahold of two Gatling guns and mounted them in front of the building. They were not touched either, although a competing newspaper (I forget the name) was gutted. Imagine the NYT doing that today.
