Albert Einstein is depicted on Riverside's West Portal, or main entrance, on Riverside Drive. He is the second sculpture from the bottom on the right side in Arch II, which depicts the greatest scientists of all time.
In the winter of 1930, Einstein visited the Riverside Church because he wanted "to see that oddity." When seeing his visage in stone on the church, he said with amusement, "I will have to be very careful for the rest of my life as to what I do and what I say."
