The Paterno, one of Historical Windows of New York’s current projects on Riverside Drive, is uniquely designed by renowned Morningside Height's architects, Schwartz & Gloss.
It was built by the Paterno brothers in 1909, commanding the northern side of West 116th Street and Riverside Drive with its handsome façade that curves towards Claremont Avenue and Columbia University.
Its porte-cochere remains a stunning entrance a century later along with its unique penthouse spaces. The marble lobby with a stained glass ceiling harkens back to its original elegance as one of the premier apartment houses of Morningside Heights given its sweeping views of the Hudson and Riverside Park.
Historical Windows of New York is replacing the old rotted and nonfunctioning wood Double-hungs and aluminum casement with Alu-clad mahogany weight and chain and casemets by Parrett Windows.
