Steinway Village in Queens - SOLD OUT

The Steinway family was very influential in the borough of Queens. On this tour with Bob Singleton, Executive Director of the Greater Astoria Historical Society, we'll tour Steinway Village, a utopian 'settlement' (as they called it) open to employees and the general public alike. The Steinways planned everything: the placement of factories, model housing, retail districts, water and sewers, schools, a post office and a fire company. Notable points on the tour include walking past the Steinway and Sons factory (closed on weekends) and the unfortunate Steinway Mansion, suffocated with 11 warehouses built just four feet from its walls in 2015. Cost: $30 / $20 Members
