The New Piast Institute Building

In 1923, Paul Pieronek moved his photography business from Chene Street to Joseph Campau into a new building he built in the growing Polish American center of Hamtramck. From 1923 to 2002, he and his sons recorded the history of the area and the stories of its people in their photographs. In 2007, the Pieronek family donated the building to the Piast Institute for its new national headquarters. When the building is remodeled we will be proud to join our work with the legacy Pieronek family began almost a century ago. We hope you help us make this dream a reality. Let us share with you the features of the Piast building when it is finished with your help.
