110 Riverside Drive, EE

In the 18th century, this land was a farm - sold off as lots. Later, in the summers of the early 1840's, Egdar Allan Poe used to find inspiration here while renting a cottage right at the foot of 83rd street. In 1914, this area became a prominent neighborhood.Four or five old seven-story structures were torn down, buildings once called Bromley Atlas, the Beake's, or Mt. Tom, before the 110-118 Riverside Drive building was erected in 1929. This was the first apartment building on the Avenue, along with the existing mansions nearby. In 1968 it turned into a well-run co-op, located in one of the finest full service, white glove buildings on Riverside Drive, with 24-hour concierge, live-in super, fitness center, laundry, playroom, storage and bike rooms.
