Article: New-York Daily Tribune, 05 April 1870, 5.

Brief. “The report that Steinway Hall is to be converted into a public ball-room is wholly without foundation. Messrs. Steinway & Sons announce that their Hall will never be used for any other purposes than those for which it was originally built—musical purposes and lectures.”

Brief. “There is not the slightest truth in the rumor that the Messrs. Steinway propose to convert their music hall into a ballroom. It can only be used for lectures and first class concerts.”
