The Rutherfurd, 360 Riverside Drive: Review and Ratings

Review of 360 Riverside Drive by Carter Horsley

This distinctive and rather distinguished apartment house at 360 Riverside Drive on the northeast corner at 108^th street was erected in 1917 and converted to a cooperative in 1983.

The 13-story building, which is known as the Rutherford, has 50 co-operative apartments.

It was designed by Gaetan Ajello.

Bottom Line

The building has superb views of the Hudson River and is directly across from Riverside Park. A local subway station is nearby at 110th Street and Broadway.

Description

The building’s light-colored façades are punctuated by four three bandcourses and it used to have balconies on its sixth floor. 

The first-floor windows have simple but attractive surrounds and a 1-step-up, two-story-high entrance flanked by small sconces.

There are fire-escapes on the second through the fifth floors in the center of the side-street façade.

It permits protruding air-conditioners but has consistent fenestration.  It has an attractive but small cornice.

Amenities

The building has a doorman, but not garage, no roof deck and no fitness center.
