About The Dakota
The Dakota is a cooperative apartment house on Manhattan's Upper West Side, at 1 West 72nd Street, and is also called the Dakota Apartments. It was built between 1880 and 1884 and designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh for the businessman Edward Cabot Clark. Among the first big developments on the Upper West Side, it is described as New York City's oldest remaining luxury apartment building. Its site fills the Central Park West frontage from 72nd Street to 73rd Street.
The plan is largely square, with an H-shaped courtyard at its center that gives access to every apartment. The main entrance is an archway two stories tall on 72nd Street. The facade is mostly brick, trimmed with sandstone and detailed in terracotta. Its roofs are deep and carry dormers, and the surfaces are decorated with niches, balconies, balustrades and terracotta panels. Each apartment had its own layout, with four to twenty rooms, and the building is divided into quadrants that each have separate stairs and elevators for tenants and for servants.
Clark, who headed the Singer Manufacturing Company, picked a site on the West Side plateau's crest. He announced the project in 1879. Work started in late October 1880, the name came in mid-1882, and Clark died before completion in October 1884. Fully rented on completion, it stayed in the Clark family's management for eight decades. In 1961 the residents bought it and turned it into a housing cooperative. It is a National Historic Landmark and a New York City landmark.
