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.[a][2] The 18-story building contained the 1,100-seat Aeolian Hall (1912–1927), a top concert hall of its day.[3] The building stands next to the Grace Building.
