Sorry, no dogs allowed at time of purchase. The building offers two elevators, a live-in super, full-time porter central laundry and entrances on Riverside Drive and 96th Street.

Originally built as an apartment hotel in 1914 known as Cliff Dwelling, 243 Riverside Drive was designed by architect Herman Lee Meader. The building sits on an irregular lot with the majority of apartments facing Riverside Park. Meader was intensely interested in Mayan and Aztec architecture. This influence is seen in the artwork throughout the terra cotta frieze of the building's facade where lions, double-headed snakes, and other imagery is incorporated. The lobby features wonderful geometric motifs that almost foreshadow the Art Deco style of the 1920s
