Riverside Memorial Chapel

Designed in 1926 by architects Frank J. Furman and Ralph Segal, this four-story Neo-French Renaissance-style chapel is a contributing member of the Upper West Side Historic District. From its start on the Lower East Side in 1897 to its current location in this purpose-built home, the funeral chapel has served the local Jewish community, including many celebrities and dignitaries, for generations.

Henson Architecture completed a full exterior restoration of this building, in coordination with a comprehensive interior renovation. Exterior work included masonry repair, roof replacement, slate mansard roof and parapet restoration, metal awning and sidewalk vault reconstruction, window replacement, and stained glass window repair.
