Following the Fire of Pera in 1870, Zoğrafos purchased the damaged Naum Theatre and had it rebuilt as what is now the Çiçek Pasajı.

[10] Zografos lavishly endowed educational and other facilities for the Greek communities living in regions that belonged, at that time, to the Ottoman Empire.

[8] In his birthplace he founded another Zographeion College where the male and female graduates became Greek language teachers.

Zografos also offered annual scholarships to 60 students (30 females and 30 males) from poor families to cover their living costs while they studied.

His son Georgios Christakis-Zografos became a notable diplomat, politician and head of the Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus (1914).
