The Paterno is a Manhattan apartment building located at 116th Street and Riverside Drive and also known as 440 Riverside Drive. The building is noted for its curved facade, impressive marble lobby with a stained-glass ceiling, and substantial porte-cochère. Across 116th Street, The Paterno faces the Colosseum, another building with a similar curved facade. The New York Times has said that the "opposing curves, (form) a gateway as impressive as any publicly built arch or plaza in New York.[2]
The Paterno and Colosseum were both developed by Charles V. Paterno (1876–1946) and designed by the architectural firm of Schwartz & Gross.[3]
The Paterno has been featured in the films Enchanted and Enemies, a Love Story.
