Townhouses at 352 and 353 Riverside Dr.
About this property
352 and 353 Riverside Drive are a pair of houses along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, New York, US. Both houses were designed in 1899 by Robert D. Kohn in the Beaux Arts style. The southern house at number 352 was owned by Adolphe Openhym, a silk merchant who developed both houses. The financier William Clark Poillon lived in the northern house, number 353. The houses were part of Woodstock College, a Jesuit seminary, by 1943 and were sold off in 1977. While number 352 remained in use as a private residence, number 353 was converted to a co-op apartment. The houses have nearly identical designs with outwardly-bowed facades, differing slightly in fine details. The base has a water table and a rusticated first story, and the upper floors combine limestone and red brick. The buildings each have copper cornices and mansard roofs with dormers. Number 352 retains its original interiors, but number 353 has been subdivided over the years. Remaining decorative details in number 352 include leaded glass, wood paneling, pocket doors, moldings, and ceilings with coffers. The houses are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
