On Central Park West at 72nd Street, the Dakota Building , with its turrets, gables and other odd details, was built to persuade wealthy New Yorkers that life in an apartment could be just as luxurious as in a private house. Over the years there have been few residents here not publicly known in some way: big-time tenants included Lauren Bacall and Leonard Bernstein, and in the 1960s the building was used as the setting for Roman Polanski's film Rosemary's Baby . But the most famous recent resident of the Dakota was John Lennon , remembered in a memorial just across the street in Central Park.
