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.
Day 5
A glimpse into the past
January 4th, 2012
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
Haven’t been back to this blog in a long while, and now know what I’ve been missing. I had no idea street signs in NY ever looked like that. So European. Which makes sense I guess.
