Steinert Hall (est. 1896) of Boston, Massachusetts, stands at 162 Boylston Street on what was called Boston's "piano row",[1] opposite the Common in the Boston Theater District. Piano dealers M. Steinert & Sons own the building, erected in 1896 by company employee Alexander Steinert.[2][3]{{refn|group=nb|In 1883 company founder Morris Steinert relocated the firm's headquarters to Boston (by way of Georgia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island). Around 1889 "Steinert Hall" opened in Boston's Hotel Boylston, located at the corner of Tremont Street and Boylston Street; the building existed until 1894.}} Architects Winslow and Wetherell designed the "six-story limestone and brick Beaux Arts-style facade with terra-cotta ornament and a copper cornice."[4] Underground performance auditoriumInside the building and four stories below ground is a concert auditorium, now closed, designed in the "Adam-style ... with fluted Corinthian pilasters separating round arches."[4] Around 1911 some considered Steinert Hall the "headquarters for the musical and artistic world of cultured Boston. Lhévinne, Josef Hofmann, Harold Bauer, Fritz Kreisler and many others have made their bows from its platform."[5] The concert auditorium, now in ill-repair, has not been used since it was closed in 1942 due to fire code restrictions and prohibitive cost to upgrade the hall.[1] In May 2015, it was announced that the hall would be renovated in an attempt to open it again for performances.[6] Notes1. ^1 Kahn, Joseph P., [https://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/style/2013/12/13/steinert-hall-most-famous-subterranean-theater-you-never-heard/hmNEd74IQpIcqP35X0d9GP/story.html "Steinert Hall, out of use and far from sight"], The Boston Globe, December 13, 2013 2. ^{{Citation |publisher = Book of Boston Co. |publication-place = Boston, Mass |author = Edwin M.
