100 Riverside Drive
100 Riverside Drive / 327-333 West 82nd Street, New York, NY 10024
- Year built
- 1938
100 Riverside Drive is Boak & Paris's most architecturally consequential Riverside Drive commission — a 1938 19-story Georgian Revival prewar with the firm's signature sunken living rooms and Hudson River vistas from the majority of apartments. Carter Horsley calls 100 Riverside "a very elegant, red-brick, Georgian-style apartment house" with a "very handsome, modern 'pre-war' building with sunken living rooms."
The structural identity rests on three features. First, the Boak & Paris architectural pedigree — the firm produced a substantial late-1930s Manhattan prewar body of work, with 100 Riverside among the most distinguished. Second, the sunken living rooms — a Boak & Paris signature configuration uncommon among peer prewar cooperatives. Third, the Hudson River exposure — most apartments carry Hudson River vistas, structurally distinct from the Central Park-facing CPW corridor.
