Musical Instruments
The Aeolian Building is a skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, at 29–33 West 42nd Street and 34 West 43rd Street, just north of Bryant Park. The 1912 building was the fourth headquarters of the Aeolian Company, which manufactured pianos and other musical instruments. The 17-story building contained the 1,100-seat Aeolian Hall (1912–1927), a first-ranked concert hall of its day.
