Peter Pinelli and Stephen Guardino develop a tenement that plays on their names at 92-96 Elizabeth
The six-story tenement at 92-96 Elizabeth Street was built in 1915 to designs by Arthur Carlson. Its developers were Peter Pinelli and Stephen Guardino, and the building is known as the Pietro Guardino, a name that the nomination says means Peter Watches in Italian. Its Spanish Eclectic and Renaissance Revival details include round arches, quoins and a stepped parapet with shields.
“Developed by Peter Pinelli & Stephen Guardino, hence “Pietro Guardino: literally “Peter Watches” in Italian. Arthur Carlson, 1915…”
