The New York State Court of Appeals in Albany closes “Biggs vs. Steinway” case, ordering Steinway & Sons to pay Hermann Biggs for the title to the land on West 57th Street. Luckily for Steinway & Sons, by this time the City of New York has amended its zoning law, and business buildings are again allowed on 57th Street. Nothing stands in the way of building the new Steinway Hall.
