5 Riverside Drive has a historic background, as it is one of the few prestigious classic Art Deco designs by the famous Boak and Paris architectural team, both of whom worked for Emory Roth before forming their own firm. According to the New York Times, they were "designers of some of the most inventive and distinctive Manhattan apartment buildings of the 1930's", known for "window grilles of iron with brass trim; multicolored terrazzo floors of geometric style; varicolored marble lobby fireplaces; dropped living rooms; neo-Classical details reworked in modern style; sophisticated molded plaster ceiling decoration; and elaborate iron and brass entry doors, also in modern style."
Truly worth repeating: this apartment is a true oasis, the one you long to come home to.
