The Chatsworth

Built in 1904 by architect John E. Scharsmith, the Chatsworth marked the rise of the luxury apartment era in Manhattan.

Notable architect Richard Morris Hunt is credited with bringing the Beaux Arts style architecture movement to Manhattan.

Overlooking the Hudson River and kissing the entrance to Riverside Park The Chatsworth stands regal in time.

Standing across the street from the Chatsworth, a pensive Eleanor Roosevelt guards the entrance to Riverside Park. A native New Yorker, and a champion of women and children, she remained a teacher and civic minded activists until her death in 1962. Riverside park was designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted.
