	The Upper West Side Book: Central Park West: The Dakota: 1 West 72nd Street at Central Park West (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The city's most legendary apartment building, the Dakota is a massive, fortress-like building with a large center courtyard and very large apartments with very high ceilings.
		The building's name allegedly reflected the fact that the building was so far removed from the city's established luxury residential areas that it might as well be in the Dakota territory.
		Inside, the building was immense and contained 65 suites and 623 rooms in all.The largest room was the public dining room on the ground floor, which was fashioned after an example in an English manor house, with a baronial fifteen-foot fireplace, an inlaid marble floor, and an elaborately carved, quartered-oak ceiling.

		While eyewitnesses have commonly placed Chapman outside the Dakota hours before he killed Lennon on 8 December 1980, Lorenzo is the first person to come forward and claim he was actually roaming the vicinity a whole day prior to the tragedy.

		I was actually in London, in a musical, and I remember all the grown-up people in the cast running through the corridors, shouting, "John Lennon's dead." It's funny because our apartment in New York is two buildings away from the Dakota Building and right opposite Strawberry Fields.
