This building on 41st Street in Astoria still bears the original name of that street. Its eponym, Albert, was one of the sons of piano magnate William Steinway, who built the still-operating Steinway Piano Factory nearby in 1870.
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled about 8000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Thanks so much to everyone who has donated! I now have enough funds to keep walking through the end of 2012 and a few months into 2013. I don't want to get ahead of myself, so I'm removing the donation button until I start to run low again. Gotta stay hungry!
My brother is also named Albert :)
Interesting.
I love the history that you give us with various pictures. Things like that fascinate me.
Unusual Cornerstone…too…..love the street sign on the building either way. Distinctive
