The anchor of Riverside Drive, this fine and distinguished apartment building was designed by John E. Scharsmith and completed in 1904. An annex was designed by the same architect just to the west in 1906.

The Chatsworth actually consists of three buildings. In addition to the annex there is a building at 353 West 71st Street.

In their wonderful book, "The A. I. A. Guide to New York City, Fourth Edition," (Three Rivers Press, 2000), Elliot Willensky and Norval White described these buildings as "gracious russet-colored brick apartment blocks embellished with lavish limestone trim in the tradition of the Kenilworth and Rossleigh Court/Orwell House."

This 13-story building overlooks Riverside Park and is also very close to the large Riverside South development overlooking the Hudson River of Donald Trump.

There is an express subway station nearby at 72nd Street and Broadway and this location is not far from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. There is excellent local shopping and many restaurants on Broadway.

The building has a handsome cast-iron entrance marquee, a concierge, consistent fenestration, decorative balconies, a two-step-up entrance, a one-step-up vestibule and an impressive lobby. It has fireplaces, wonderful views and high ceilings but no health club, no garage and no sidewalk landscaping.

The 11-story building has 149 rental apartments.
