The Colosseum is an apartment building located at 116th Street and Riverside Drive in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, New York City.

"[3] The unusual curved facades are the result of an 1897 plan to make the land between Claremont Avenue and Riverside Drive into a public park in order to give veterans' parades a large park adjacent to Grant's Tomb as a terminus.

The street was redesigned to enter the proposed park in a gracious curve, but the city never appropriated funds to buy the land.

[3] The Colosseum was designed by Schwartz & Gross and built by the Paterno Brothers, Charles and Joseph, in 1909-1910.

[3] Harlan Fiske Stone and Lajos "Louis" Jambor lived in the Colosseum when it was a private building.
