The Steinway Mansion (also the Benjamin Pike Jr. House) is at 18-33 41st Street on a quarter-acre hilltop in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens in New York City.

Steinway Village included housing for his workers, a church, a library, a kindergarten, and countless amenities, ensuring a stable community for employees and their families assembled from the scrublands and swamps that previously occupied the vast swath of property.

[11] In 1926, Jack Halberian, an Armenian-Turkish immigrant who had arrived in the United States in 1913, purchased the mansion shortly after it was put up for sale by the Steinway family.

[12] During the Great Depression, Halberian was offered $75,000 for the house by a Greek primate named Athenagoras, who wanted to convert it into an orphanage that would work in tandem with the recently opened Saint Demetrios Cathedral in Astoria.

[15] The mansion was placed for sale after Michael Halberian's death in 2010, but the high price, protected status, and poor condition deterred potential buyers from purchasing the property.

[12] Other notable elements include three porches supported by cast iron Corinthian columns, five Italian marble fireplaces, and original pocket doors with cut glass depicting many of Benjamin Pike Jr.’s 19th-century scientific instruments.

The center main hall contains elaborately carved walnut balustrades, a two-story domed rotunda topped with a central stained glass skylight, 12-foot (3.7 m) ceilings throughout.

There are three large underground cisterns designed to collect rainwater from the roof for grounds irrigation and a 1000-gallon (3,800 L) copper tank in the attic to furnish the house with a pressurized water system for bath and kitchen use.
