The Master Apartments is a landmark29-story art Deco skyscraper on Riverside Drive, Upper West Side, Manhattan, New York City. Its address is 310 Riverside Drive. It sits on the Northeast corner of Riverside Drive and West 103rd Street. It is one of the city's major Art Deco residential buildings and one of its first mixed-use buildings, since it was built in 1929. It was the first skyscraper in New York City to feature corner windows. The original plans for the building called for only 24 stories topped by a stupa, a Buddhist shrine in the shape of a staggered pyramid with a spire on top. When the building was constructed, plans for the stupa were scrapped in favor of an additional 5 stories.
