The Rotunda at the Historic Old Steinway Building

"Music is once again in the air—and on the ceiling—at Manhattan’s historic Steinway Hall. Designed by Warren and Wetmore, the venerable architecture firm behind such treasures as Grand Central Terminal, this 1925 neoclassical landmark served as the headquarters of the American piano company Steinway & Sons for nearly nine decades." - Elizabeth Fazzare, Architectural Digest

 

John Canning & Co. recently completed the conservation and restoration of the historic rotunda at 111 W. 57th Street, Manhattan's Old Steinway Hall. Brought in by JDS Development, the project included the art conservation of the ceiling murals, as well as the restoration of the plaster and decorative finishes. 

 

We are proud to share the project via Architectural Digest, recently published in their June issue. Learn more about the project on our website.
