The massive Steinway mausoleum sits atop a hill. Henry Steinway brought his family piano business to New York from Germany in the 1850's. His son, William, established the compnaytown of Steinway, Long Island, for the mass manufacture of the instruments. Erected in the 1870s to hold up to 200 people, the mausoleum was meant to be used by many generations of Steinways. It is the largest mausoleum in Green-Wood, but it current holds fewer than 70 people.
