    2018 LAGUARDIA AND WAGNER ARCHIVES CALENDAR WORKING AT THE PIANO MAKERS STEINWAY ABOUT THE ART CASE PIANOS The first art case piano was made in 1855 by Steinway. Between 1855 and 1930, Steinway produced over 200 “fancy pianos” for special customers in the United States and Europe. Customers included the Goulds, Fricks, and Rothschilds. Art case pianos were custom-designed to suit particular clients. The designs were not always made into pianos.

  • Here's a Hint on the Trivia-Like Question Asked Above: the Answer Relates
    Here’s a hint on the trivia-like question asked above: The answer relates to Rikers Island’s leading role in the 1939 birth of LaGuardia Airport. More precisely, it was a rebirth – that of a small North Beach, Queens, airfield, transformed into the country’s then largest municipal airport. Some said it was the world’s largest. What made the change-over possible was a half-mile steel span stretched across Rikers Island Channel. Trucks Traveled Trestle to Feed Rikers Landfill to Airport Site That massive trestle served as a kind of metal feeding tube, enabling an estimated17 million tons of Rikers Island landfill to be funneled into the future mammoth airport’s vast Bowery Bay-Flushing Bay construction site: 357 acres of marshland and underwater grid work. Tens of thousands of truck trips delivered the materials. Operations went on around the clock six days a week for two years. The span had a movable section which, in the open position, allowed passage of water craft through the Rikers Island Channel. Planners had chosen that arrangement rather than clog the channel with barges going back and forth. The crossing structure facilitated turning the 105-acre North Beach Airport, formerly the Glen H. Curtis Airport, into 557-acre New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field. About three and a half decades later, a somewhat similar temporary crossing structure spanned Bowery Bay, linking the island and Queens to facilitate construction of the permanent bridge opened in 1966 and named for Rikers’ Supervising Warden Francis R. Buono in 1978. In recognition of the essential role that Rikers would play in the creation of New York City’s planned commercial airport, the Sept.

In addition, the Commission received two letters in support of designation, including one from the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The sixteen-story Steinway Hall was constructed in 1924-25 to the design of architects Warren & Wetmore for Steinway & Sons, a piano manufacturing firm that has been a dominant force in its industry since the 1860s. Founded in 1853 in New York by Heinrich E. Steinweg, Sr., the firm grew to worldwide renown and prestige through technical innovations, efficient production, business acumen, and shrewd promotion using artists' endorsements. From 1864 to 1925, Steinway's offices/showroom, and famous Steinway Hall (1866), were located near Union Square. After Carnegie Hall opened in 1891, West 57t1i Street gradually became one of the nation's leading cultural and classical music centers and the piano companies relocated uptown. It was not until 1923, however, that Steinway acquired a 57th Street site.
