Built in 1938 it was his last great work, as well as the last of the monumental pre-World War II apartment houses. Roth was able to combine Italian Renaissance forms with new Modern forms and like the Beresford and the San Remo, the Normandy has been designated a New York City landmark.RIVERSIDE PARKRiverside Park borders the Hudson River from West 72 to West 153 Street, a delightful section of the walking path that now circles the island of Manhattan. It began in 1873 and last expanded in 1910. The original design was by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, the creators of Central Park. Extending some 81 blocks for approximately 4 miles, it is a complex design of exquisitely designed greenery, in some places on several levels, with winding paths, exquisite themed playgrounds - River Park, Hippo Park - tennis courts, skateboard courses, basketball courts and gated gardens. There are two restaurants overlooking the Hudson River, as well as the 79th Street Boat Basin. OWNER/BROKER
