Carter's Review

This red-brick, 12-story apartment building was erected in 1941 and has a side-street entrance with a canopy and polished dark green granite entrance surround and sidewalk landscaping.

It is known as River Edge House and has 75 cooperative apartments.

The building s first floor has rusticated masonry and the windows have attractive but simple white reveals.

It has many balconies facing the East River and the building was converted to a cooperative in 1972.

In their fine book, "New York 1960, Architecture and Urbanism Between the Second World War and the Bicentennial," Robert A. M. Stern, Thomas Mellins and David Fishman observed that "William J. Hohauser's River Edge House (1941) at 33 East End Avenue, occupying the south blockfront of Eighty-First Street between East End Avenue and the East River Drive, initiated the reconstruction of lower East End Avenue."

It is convenient to the southbound entrance of the FDR Drive at 79th Street two blocks to the south and to Carl Schurz Park three blocks to the north.
