Description:
The Foundry is a
19th Century
building that housed
The Albra Metal
Foundry (their logo
is still visible on
the corner of the
building at 9th
Street and 43rd
Avenue). By 1906, it
was one of several
steel foundries in
the Long Island City
area that catered to
the needs of New
York City's
riverfront
manufacturers. In
1982, the Du Val
family purchased the
property. The family
restored and
renovated the space
to reflect its
original industrial
character and began
hosting events in
2001. It is the only
foundry in the area
still standing
today. |
