Cherokee Apartments
AKA The East River Houses or The Shively Sanitary Tenements:
Shively was the prescribing physician behind the project to build “healthy” tenements for patients with TB.
The triple hinged windows are a unique feature of the design. They lead to lovely little balconies so the afflicted and their families could get out into the air.
The tenements, now landmarked, have been converted to attractive coops.
Neighborly sights
Cherokee Place and the Pavillion abut John Jay Park. The river ripples by us, seen over the FDR traffic. End of the summer season is here so this was the last sighting of the orange umbrellas at poolside.
