    A tenement built for ten families at 22 Cornelia Street holds nearly twice that many by 1903

    William E. Waring designed 22 Cornelia Street in 1877 for Mary A. Henry as a five-story tenement for ten families. By 1903 the number of households had nearly doubled. That year owner Henry Schnepp hired architect William Biehl to upgrade it, and new windows were cut into the middle of the front and rear walls on every floor. In 1926 it was sold to Donato Robilotto, who owned its neighbors at 24 and 26.
