Address: 42-38 Ninth Street Country: USA State: NY City: Long Island City / Queens West / New York Zip: 11101 Full 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. By the 1970's The Foundry was essentially an abandoned space, housing defunct vehicles and a mountain of debris. In 1980, the Du Val family purchased the property. They 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.
As a 19th Century Foundry, The Foundary is meticulously restored to retain its industrial character. Stunning proportions, adaptable to many uses, and available to rent for:
Film and Video Shoots
Photography
Special Events & Parties
Weddings
Seminars
The Foundry is directly across from Manhatta by the East River and next to the 59th Street Bridge.
