Since the 1870s, Steinway & Sons has been shaping Astoria’s history. (6.27.11, 1 Steinway Place, near 19th Ave.)

From New York Magazine:

The old Steinway Village surrounding the factory once featured schools, post offices, and shops. Many of these buildings are still standing; the original workers’ rowhouses can be seen on 20th Ave., between 41st and 42nd Streets. The Steinway Mansion is on the corner of 42nd Street and 19th Avenue.
