The Normandy
The Normandy, at 140 Riverside Drive and 86th Street, is a luxury residential cooperative apartment building in Manhattan, New York City. It is one of the city's best Art Deco buildings, and the last of the great twin-towered apartment houses built by architect Emery Roth; it was in The Normandy the Roth chose to live in in his retirement years. The ''AIA Guide to New York City'' comments on the building's "senuous curves".
A 1978 review of Roth's work by architecture critic Paul Goldberger in the ''New York Times'' commented that
the Roth firm took on modernism slowly – the Normandy apartments of 1938 at 140 Riverside Drive have an Art Deco-like base, but the ornamental housing for the water tower lurches back suddenly to the Italian Renaissance. There were a few other such schizophrenic () designs from the 30's and buildings such as 930 Fifth Avenue and 875 Fifth Avenue of 1940 show a gradual disappearance of the old ornament.
The Normandy is a New York City landmark.〔''Guide to New York City Landmarks''. New York: John Wiley and Sons, 2008. p. 148-9.〕
