The Dakota was New York City’s first large, luxury apartment building. The 10-story building, designed in the French Renaissance style, with a heavy nod to German Gothic, featured many unique amenities for its time, including an independent power plant, a gymnasium, playrooms, and wine cellars. It remains a very prestigious address, particularly for those people in the arts and entertainment.
