The Dakota, built from 1880 to 1884, is an apartment building located on the northwest corner of 72nd Street and Central Park West in New York City.
It was designed by architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, who also designed the Plaza Hotel, for Edward Severin Clark, head of the Singer Sewing Machine Company.
The building is said to have been named because at the time it was built, the Upper West Side of Manhattan was sparsely inhabited and considered as remote as the Dakota territory.

This is a landmarked 1888 commercial building by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh.

After setting up his own practice, Hardenbergh built (1871–3) a chapel, a library (destr.) and a geology building (destr.) at Rutgers College, New Brunswick, NJ, a commission obtained through family connections.
This building brought him to the attention of Edward S. Clark, head of the Singer Sewing Machine Co., who had bought a plot of land between the present W. 72nd and 73rd Streets and Eighth and Ninth Avenues.
Clark commissioned Hardenbergh to build a housing development (1880–86) for three different social classes, comprising row houses (some destr.), lower-middle-class apartments and, on the most valuable part of the plot fronting on to Eighth Avenue, a daring foray into the luxury apartment market, now known as the Dakota Apartments (1880–84).
