  • STEINWAY HALL, 109-113 West 57T1i Street (Aka 106-116 West 58L" Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 13, 2001, Designation List 331 LP-2100 STEINWAY HALL, 109-113 West 57t1i Street (aka 106-116 West 58l" Street), Manhattan. Built 1924-25; [Whitney] Warren & [Charles D.] Wetmore, architects; Thompson-Starrett Co., builders. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1010, Lot 25. October 16, 2001 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Steinway Hall and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions oflaw. Eight people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the property's owners, Community Board 5, Municipal Art Society, American Institute of Architects' Historic Buildings Committee, and Historic Districts Council. 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.
