Dating back to the late 1800’s, the Piano Factory is a loft-conversion on the site of the former Wessell, Nickel & Gross Company, a piano works and soundboard manufacturer. The interior courtyard originally served as the factory’s horse stables and storage yard. Today the landscaped courtyard is punctuated by striking original steel catwalks and inviting seating areas. The Piano Factory has frequently been used for movie and television filming because of its photogenic beauty. The building is a well-established, self-managed co-op with a live-in super that permits pets, pied-a-terres and subletting. Low monthlies of $1,972 make this loft even more compelling.
