Hands down the coolest bowling alley in any private residence I've seen.
Quite a joint. Riverside Drive must really have been something back in the day. Very clever, the way the bowling alley wing is used in the design.
The drawing room, Main Hall and Library all seemed to have the same bowling alley design theme.
Great looking house. Riverside Drive did indeed have some stunning homes back in the day
Flagg (and his protege Frank Proctor Whiting) designed many buildings for the Clark family. From the YMCA in Cooperstown to the Singer building.
Whiting designed the lovely lakeside mansion of Fenimore House for Edward C. Clark's son Edward Severin Clark:
