River House (New York City) : ウィキペディア英語版 | River House (New York City)
River House is a co-op apartment building located at 435 East 52nd Street in Manhattan, New York. ==History== The River House was constructed in 1931 on the site of a former cigar factory. Originally, the building featured a pier where residents could dock their yachts, but that amenity was lost with the construction of the FDR Drive.〔 The building has a gated cobblestone courtyard featuring a fountain.〔 The building's 26 story tower is decorated in an Art Deco style. Historically, the co-op board was notorious for turning away applicants who failed to meet strict liquidity requirements or those whose "comings and goings would attract unwelcome publicity to the River House".〔 Famously, Gloria Vanderbilt was rejected by the board in 1980.〔 She accused the board of racism (she was in a relationship with African-American singer Bobby Short), while the board claimed she had been rejected on her merits. Other celebrities alleged to have been rejected by the board include Richard Nixon, Diane Keaton, Joan Crawford〔〔 and lately the French Ambassador to the United Nations.〔 The WSJ cites "worries about noisy soirees, armed guards and diplomatic immunity" as reasons for the deal falling through.〕
