Kathryn's Reviews > Heaven on the Hudson: Mansions, Monuments, and Marvels of Riverside Park

This history of the homes of Riverside Drive is one of such love. The author has lived in the neighborhood for over 30 years and her love for the area comes through on every page of the book. The book takes readers on a journey of the history of the park and the houses along Manhattan's western shoreline. Many of the pages have photos showing what used to be there and other pages show what's there now. May of the people referenced I had heard of but many of the people and stories were completely new to me. The book feels very well researched and I am looking forward to have this book as a reference for my next trip to New York.
