The Paterno
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paterno is a Manhattan apartment building located at 116th Street and Riverside Drive and also known as 440 Riverside Drive. The building is noted for its curved facade, impressive marble lobby with a stained-glass ceiling, and massive porte-cochère. Across 116th Street, The Paterno faces The Collosseum, another building with a similar curved facade. The New York Times has said that the "opposing curves, (form) a gateway as impressive as any publicly built arch or plaza in New York.[1]
The Paterno has been featured in films Enchanted and Enemies, a Love Story.
