I was walking outside Central Park, and recognized this building as I approached it. I couldn't place where I knew it from, but it was recognizable. Soon I noticed the number of Beatles shirts being worn in the area, and I realized it was The Dakota... John Lennon lived here, and was murdered in the archway. The outside of this building was also used for the movie Rosemary's Baby. It's a nice old building with interesting architecture, and some nice details. The "Strawberry Fields" memorial to John Lennon in Central Park is right across the street.
