    Pietro and Attilio Zampieri purchased 17 Cornelia Street in 1906 and commissioned the architect Anthony Vendrasco to draw up two new buildings. At the front stood a two-story brick-and-limestone building with a pedimented cornice, holding a bakery, a shop and a one-family dwelling. Behind it rose a three-story building to be used as a stable.

  2. 1913

    The Zampieris have Anthony Vendrasco join their bakery at 17 Cornelia Street to its rear building

    By 1913, within seven years of building, the Zampieris had Vendrasco connect the front and rear buildings at 17 Cornelia Street. About three years after that the bakery took over the whole property for commercial use, the extension gained a story, and the elevator shaft that had served only the first floor and basement was lifted above the roof.

  3. 1956

    Zampieri Brothers buys the stable at 19 Cornelia Street and combines it with its bakery at no. 17

    In 1956 Zampieri Brothers, Inc. bought the three-story stable, later a garage, at 19 Cornelia Street, which William H. Walker had designed in 1891. The company joined it to the bakery building at no. 17 on the inside while both kept their existing uses and looks. A 1984 application to convert the complex into residential condominiums led to significant changes in the facades.
