140 Riverside Drive, The Normandy, designed by Emery Roth, is also where the famed architect retired to. The twin-towered building has twin entrances and lobbies on West 86th and West 87th Streets.
In its designation report, the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission gushed, “The Normandy Apartments is one of the most outstanding apartment buildings on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. A large eighteen-story (with nineteenth-story penthouse) twin-towered structure overlooking the Hudson River, it dominates the vista of Riverside Drive. Designed by Emery Roth, and built in 1938-39, it was his last great work, as well as the last of the monumental pre-World War II apartment houses that are such an important element of the Upper West Side.”
