Our Derby Hall of Famer of the Week built one of the largest and most prestigious businesses in Derby history.
Charles A. Sterling started out manufacturing organs in enormous wood structures located along the canal near what today is Water Street. He later added pianos as the business thrived for decades. He had an easy walk to work as he lived on Caroline Street.
He passed away in 1877 but left a lasting legacy in Derby. The Sterling Opera House is named for him. https://electronicvalley.org/.../Hal.../Sterling,Charles.htm
