194 Riverside Drive

194 Riverside Drive is located on the short strip between 91st and 92nd Street drawing quiet attention with its private, cul-de-sac feel. Built in 1901 by famed New York architect, Ralph S. Townsend, 194 Riverside Drive, along with neighboring 425 West End Avenue, on the corner of West 80th Street, are representative of Townsend’s neo-Renaissance buildings built at the turn of the century. The bold curvaceous façades of the buildings stand out from the neighboring buildings, even from 190 Riverside Drive directly next to 194, also designed by Townsend slightly later in 1910.
