This will be a walk through one of the most remarkable communities in New York City! it was envisoined by the immigrant German family both dominated the piano market, and with the creation of Steinway Hall, made New York the nation’s cultural center.
Although they created the Steinway Settlement in Queens to house workers and factories, only 20% of the residents were Steinway employees. The community boasted factory, housing, transportation, recreational facilities, schools, churches, even a library and kindergarten.
Most of the community is intact. This is a fabulous opportunity to see the neighborhood which helped Steinways place New York City as the worlds cultural and intellectual capital it is today!
