Schinasi House, French Renaissance mansion on Riverside Drive, Manhattan, United States.
The Schinasi House is a French Renaissance mansion on Riverside Drive in Manhattan containing more than 30 rooms spread across multiple floors. The interior features Egyptian carved marble, hand-carved wood details, and hand-painted frescoes throughout.
Morris Schinasi, a tobacco manufacturer from the Ottoman Empire, commissioned architect William Tuthill to build this residence, completed in 1909. The completion marked a high point of Beaux-Arts architecture in New York during the Gilded Age.
The house displays carved pineapple motifs symbolizing hospitality and reflects early 20th-century American residential design. The decorative elements reveal the tastes and values of wealthy families during that era.
The corner lot offers Hudson River views and contains twelve bedrooms and eleven bathrooms spread throughout the building for visitors to explore. It is best visited on foot, allowing time to appreciate the nearby riverfront area and surrounding street architecture.
This house remains the last detached single-family residence on Manhattan that maintains its original residential purpose. Its isolation among high-rises makes it a rare holdover from a bygone era of city development.
