"The home was divided into two businesses. Anna Tirocchi had bought the house at 514 Broadway shortly before
her sister wed Dr. Cella, and she chose it carefully. Described

A Victorian Boulevard as "one of the most ornate on [the
street]," number 514 was a much-admired house. It was built
in 1867 for John K. Kendrick, Both these factors made 514 Broadway an ideal location for her elite custom dressmaking business. It was easily reached from the East Side where most of her clientele lived. Moreover, many physicians had their offices located on this stretch of Broadway, so it was also an ideal location at which young Dr. Cella could establish his practice.
