Waverly Place + Sixth Avenue (aka Avenue of the Americas)
“Dad and I began acquiring distressed apartment buildings in 1934 as the worst of the panicky crisis had passed. At this time one could get a building for about 60 cents on the dollar of practical worth. One such was 136 Waverly Place. Dad gave this to Helen and me as a wedding gift. Its location in Greenwich Village of lower Manhattan proved to be profitable through the years. In 1969 it went with the package deal of selling all of our New York real estate to Investors Funding Corp., a large New York City based conglomerate.” Carlo Paterno in My Family page 49
