HISTORY …
In 1928, Nicolo Mazzola opened a bakery at the corner of Henry and Union streets in what was then called South Brooklyn. Driven by hunger and the almost feudal poverty and drawn by the lure of jobs along Brooklyn’s developing waterfront Italian immigrants flocked to the neighborhood today known as or re-dubbed Carroll Gardens, after the front gardens palace blocks.

In 1846, surveyor Richard Butt planned gardens in front of the brownstone houses in the oldest section of the neighborhood when he developed it.The homes are set farther back from the street than is common in Brooklyn, and the large gardens became an iconic depiction of the neighborhood. The same year, a law was passed requiring that all buildings between Henry Street and Smith Street have 33 feet 5.25 inches between the building and the street for "courtyards" effectively creating the coveted front gardens of Carroll Gardens. In 1853 the City of NY purchased the largest private garden and named it Carroll Park.
