This is a gem, most New Yorker’s don’t even know it’s here. Absolutely stunning Neoclassical building housing the famous civil war general and his wife. Next to it is the Riverside Church, also a beautiful building. At 122 and Riverside drive it’s a little longer walk but still easy to get to and very worth it.
