The Landmarks Preservation Commission describes 18 and 20 Cornelia Street as two five-story mixed-use buildings, drawn up by William E. Waring in 1871 with Italianate and neo-Grec details. They went up at a time when Greenwich Village row houses were being torn down for tenements meant for the working-class and immigrant population. Both have storefronts at street level, with cast-iron pilasters and columns framing the doors.
