After the death of Walter W. Cole Sr., better known as Darcelle XV, a supporter installed a homemade street sign outside of Darcelle’s club that reads NW Darcelle XV St.

A plaque outside the iconic drag venue Darcelle XV Showcase that honored the club’s recognition in the National Register of Historic Places was vandalized last week.
