Carter's Review

This handsome, 12-story, pre-war, cooperative apartment building at 299 Riverside Drive on the southeast corner at 102nd Street has 57 units.

It was erected in 1911.

It was designed by Evan T. MacDonald.

Bottom Line

A pleasant pre-war with a 6-step-up entrance and a four-step-up vestibule and a nice copper cornice.

Description

The brown-brick building has a 6-step-up, side-street entrance that leads to a four-step-up vestibule and a nice marble-clad lobby, a low but large wrought-iron railing, and a three-story, rusticated limestone base. It has a nice marble lobby, a large, bracketed, copper cornice, entrance lanterns, arched windows on the second and top floor.

The building has some protruding air-conditioners and no sidewalk landscaping.


 

Amenities

The building, which has fine views of the Hudson River and Riverside Park, a  part-time doorman and a live-in superintendent, but no sidewalk landscaping, no health club, no roof deck and no garage.
