Building: The Clarendon

(The Clarendon) Built in 1906 as a 12 story building with 61 apartments and designed by Charles E. Birge. The design of this Turn of the Century treasure is easily distinguished as it showcases many of the old world details. Its architectural splendor includes a four story limestone base, and a step up lobby covered with a lavish bronze and glass marquee. The apartments have high ceilings, rambling layouts, handsome moldings, beautiful hardwood floors, and many of the apartments have breathtaking views of the Hudson and Riverside Park. This full service Co-Op is located on one of the prettiest and most prominent Riverside Park blocks. It is conveniently located to transportation, restaurants and shopping and yet is greatly appreciated for its peace and tranquility.
The Clarendon is well noted as being the former home of William Randolph Hearst who once occupied the magnificent three story palatial penthouse apartment.
