About the Cherokee Apartments
The Cherokee Apartments, once the Shively Sanitary Tenements and also called East River Homes, are four buildings facing East 77th and East 78th Streets in Manhattan's Upper East Side, each six stories tall. All four date from 1912, when they were built as homes for people living with tuberculosis, along with their families, to plans by architect Henry Atterbury Smith.
Smith favored an "open stair" plan, which he promoted as healthier for apartment buildings, and he wished residents to have maximum exposure to the outdoors. Features meant to aid sick residents include triple-hung windows running floor to ceiling, French balconies, winding open stairwells and a courtyard inside each building. The facades combine terra cotta with brick under green tile roofs. Each entrance opens onto a vaulted passage whose ceilings are Guastavino tile that leads to the central courtyard.
In 1924 the buildings became regular rental apartments, and the complex later turned into a co-op. New York City designated it a landmark in 1985. The buildings also contribute to a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.
