Piano Row District, Historic district near Boston Common, United States

Piano Row District extends along Boylston Street from Park Square to Tremont Street, encompassing two blocks of buildings facing Boston Common.

The district developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a center for music-related businesses, with numerous piano showrooms and manufacturers establishing their presence.

The area contains multiple performance venues, including the Cutler Majestic Theatre, which was designed as an opera house with 1,200 seats and now belongs to Emerson College.

The district comprises 29 buildings that showcase architectural styles from Late Victorian to Early 20th Century American Movements, reflecting the area's commercial transformation.

M. Steinert and Sons, Boston's Steinway dealer since 1896, maintains its flagship store in the district with an underground performance hall from the original construction.
