575 Riverside Drive,

West Harlem

Riverside Drive is a six-story pre-war cooperative located in Upper Manhattan’s Hamilton Heights

neighborhood, featuring a classic early 20th-century façade composed of terracotta, limestone, and

masonry elements. Constructed in 1926, the building showcases traditional architectural details typical

of its era.

Walsh Engineering performed an extensive façade restoration that included parapet replacement,

terracotta arch rebuilding, cornice replacement, structural joist and slab repairs, and restoration or

replacement of over 170 terracotta units. Limestone repairs were also completed. Although the building

is not landmarked, all work was executed using historic preservation methods to preserve its

architectural character and ensure long-term structural integrity.
