Description

Completed in 1884, The Dakota is a very early example of an elegant and luxurious New York City apartment building. Because it has been well-maintained and little altered since its erection, the building retains to a very great extent its original layout and decorative features. -- Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS NY-5467)
