River House is a co-op apartment building located at 435 East 52nd Street in Manhattan, New York City. History The 26-story River House was constructed in 1931 on the site of a former cigar factory and designed by William Lawrence Bottomley in the Art Deco style. Designed for cooperative ownership, the building featured 78 apartments with 12-rooms, 6 baths, and two fireplaces.
