    In 1904 architects Bernstein & Bernstein drew up this Renaissance Revival building at 18 Bedford Street for owners William and Julius Bachrach. It held nine families above a basement store, rising as Village row houses were being replaced by tenements for the working-class and immigrant population. In 1930 owner Giuseppe Zanella had the first floor made into a store and apartment, and in 1955 an architect removed the store and put two apartments in its place.
