Overview of The John James at 775 Riverside Drive

The John James, located at 775 Riverside Drive at 156th Street, is a historic 6-story condominium building erected in 1931 within the Audubon Terrace Historic District. Named after the renowned bird painter John James Audubon, whose house once stood nearby, the building was constructed by Nathaniel and Edward Brandt as part of a cohesive trio of Medieval Revival-style buildings.

The 67-unit building features distinctive architectural elements including castellated parapet walls, molded terra-cotta arched entrances, and an H-shaped layout with center court entrances. Its design, originally submitted by Albert E. Schaefer with subsequent plans by George G. Miller, contributes to one of Manhattan's most impressive architectural ensembles.

Residents enjoy amenities including doorman service, a fitness center, central laundry facilities, and underground parking. The building is pet-friendly and maintains a live-in superintendent. Many units feature pre-war details such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, and some offer views of the Hudson River.

Situated in a prime location across from Riverside Park, the building provides easy access to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, City College, and Columbia University. Transportation options include the nearby 1, A, and C subway lines, making it well-connected to the rest of Manhattan. The building's position in the historic Audubon District, characterized by tree-lined streets and architectural significance, adds to its appeal.
