What a nice video , thanks for sharing . I live in Cali and drove to NY cuz I am a Truck Driver and got me a taxi cab and my first stop was the Dakota a dream come true for me, Beatles 4 life.
John finally made it to the top of the top, although I think it was "‘to the toppermost of the poppermost", but he clearly made it to the top, whatever it was. This is a great video about an exquisite building. I was a residential designer for the bulk of my adult life and have always had a keen interest in ALL things architectural. I love classic architecture and this is the coolest building... in the history of the world - IMO. Thank you for making a great video about my favorite piece of architecture.
Enjoyed the post. Very interesting. I visited the Dakota Apartments when I was in NYC last December. First time in New York City and as a Beatles fan had to pay my respects here.
Love it. Probably the most informative documentary about the dakota ever. I can only imagine if the building could talk it would have so much to tell us what has been changing for the past century around it. Thank you for making this doc.
It's such a cool and mysterious building. I've been on the patio of the penthouse next door and looked down on the roof of the Dakota. Its part of what defines Gotham to me. Its no wonder Rosemary's Baby was filmed there. Nice video. Thanks
I always walk by The Dakota whendvdf i visit NYC and think of him. I was a huge fan and 16 year old teenage girl when he was born…..ne is still my hero. Thank you SO MUCH for this video. ☮️💟
In your opening video, the WIFE John was preferring as "a nice girl", and George was complimenting, was CYNTHIA LENNON, mother of John's first son Julian Lennon. John and Cynthia had a ten year relationship together while John rose to the top, before Yoko set her sights on the by-then famous musician.
Yep!! Once a Male gets the "Hots" for a Fresh New Female, It's Good Bye Marriage, Family, Children and Home. And They Don't Look Back Either at Their Ruthless and Hurtful Destruction. On To a New Family!!
Stop being ridiculous. Reminds me of John’s hometown Liverpool dedicating his statue .and inviting his EXWIFE Cynthia to the dedication, DUH. John.,,,DIVORCED Cynthia 40 years earlier! John was married to Yoko for decades and shared a loving life with their son SEAN., And Cynthia unabashedly SHOWS UP to that dedication…. Even after being twice more times married with a couple of “live in lovers” whom Cyn on the record stated “none of the new men ever matched John’s earning power.” Speaks VOLUMES: WHAT THE UK IS NOW DOING TO MEGHAN MARKLE. Of course they SWEAR ,,,,, NOT RACIST.
@@gwendolynormita3936 Ms. Ormita stop your whining about Cynthia. She loved John to the end and he loved her. At the end John said he thought he and Cyn would have made it. That is, if homewrecker and narcissist hadn't gotten her hooks into him.
@@gwendolynormita3936 awwww jealous much of Cynthia? We KNOW you work for Joko Ono! So just stop. Oh yeah also, JOKO Ono and Lennon were married for 10 years, not decades, get over yourself because you talk a lot of Sh*t!
Dakota Apartment's you gave an outstanding presentation and knowledge and da celebrity's that were turned down I'm a Huge Beatles Fan tattoos on both Arm's we named our 4 year old son Lennon Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge great video 😁👍🤛
GREAT INFO. HOW DID YOU FIND THOSE PICS ? I'VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH THE DAKOTA AND HAVE STUDIED THE FLOOR PLANS IN A BOOK ABOUT NYC FAMOUS BILDGS. BUT NEVER CAME ACROSS THE INFO YOU GOT . GREAT JOB !!!
Natalie, that's such a great video! I'm a first-year student of architecture and I find your videos not only useful but very entertaining, as well. It definitely fuels my interest in architecture even more. Thank you for that, wish you success with your studies and your channel. :)
@@UnravelingArchitecture Thank you very much! I'm glad! :) I would really like to see a video about all the different opportunities you have with an architecture degree, like what kinds of different ways you can go and what skills you earn from an architecture degree. Would be really interesting to find out. :)
It’s a German Renaissance type of architecture. Since the 7-9 story building was built in the early 1880s it uses very thick 2 feet thick walls at the bottom which makes it very strong.
Great video! Thanks! I have liked and subscribed. Did the early residents buy or rent (or a combination of the two) in the Dakota? How much would have cost to live there in the late 19th century. Looking forward for more of your videos! 😊😊
*cue The More You Know GIF* Fave vid to date Nat! Not sure why but I enjoy vids like this. Looks like you had fun making it too. I liked the beginning tidbit about your mom's first love being John Lennon haha. I may be wrong here but my mom's first love was Ricky Martin haha.
John you are SO missed. What's beautiful Man with a true love for humanity. So misunderstood. Just a working class Hero. May your music and memory live on. Your friend and fellow human being, love Dave
You’ve got some impressive educational credentials. And this channel is a good idea. And maybe it doesn’t matter to you, but as an architect you know a small flaw can be a big problem. I can’t take this seriously when you say “Julie Garland”.
Hi William - thank you! And totally fair comment. I tried my best to fix mispronunciations in editing. Sometimes it works other times it doesn’t. Unfortunately I am dyslexic and sometimes when filming scripted videos i mispronounce things. I can’t really do much on my end when words move on pages and I mispronounce things as a result. I try my absolute best and hardest though to read clearly and say everything correctly. I always hated reading things aloud at school because I start actually speaking gibberish lol 😂😅 But thank you for your comment! I hope to do better in the future(:
“This man needs no introduction... He was a singer in the Beatles”. If he needs no introduction... why are you reading bullet points from his resume? That said thank you for doing this video. Good job with pictures and discussion.. I was twenty when he was bordered. He’s one of those people that you remember where you were.
My nephew Cornelious is only 17 and he has no idea who Mr Lennon was. He listens to such "artists" as Stray Bitch, Castrated Dawg and Flea-bitten Mutt and other such rappers. I had to explain to him who John Lennon was.
Fantastic place yes yoko still lives there today it's sad that John Lennon was killed there yoko may see John's spirit every day up the irons!!! Maiden manic🤘🎶🎶👍👍🤟🎸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
There's a video by "Cash Jordan" touring a penthouse apartment he (and the realtor videoed) claims was John Lennon's. Selling for $4.2m (as of June 1 2021) Seems a bargain to me. Would Yoko really let it go for that, I wonder? What's more, it isn't decorated in a style I'd think was to their taste.
Truth be told, if the lyrics to Lennon's "Imagine" had ever come to fruition, he couldn't afford to live at the posh Dakota - state-enforced income re-distribution and conformity would have seen to that. Anyone can write glowing platitudes about the joys socialist utopias offer - as long as you don't have to live in one.
Its my understanding Chapman was aiming at someone else (Yoko), but being a bad shot and with it being dark missed his intended target and hit John Lennon instead.
When John, and Yoko were wating for the cab to take them to The Hit Factory studio, Chapman handed John the John, and Yoko album to sign. Chapman didn't even want Ono's autograph.
I heard that John actually hired Chapman to knock off Yoko, but Yoko found out and did a double cross on John by upping Chapmans fee and having him take out John instead.
The CIA had tapped his phone and recorded his conversations for over two years. They moved a plant to watch him from across the hall from his apartment. The assassin was recruited from a non profit that is known as a recruiting ground for assassins for the CIA. His assassin was groomed for over a year and was given a trigger 'catcher in the rye'. This was not a random hit from a crazed fan.
Lennon was being watched in the early 70s because of his association with America radicals. Later in the decade Lennon gained his green card to remain in the U.S. He was a harmless mouse in 1980, the government no longer had any interest in him or his boring life or syrupy music they he released that year. Chapman was a schizophrenic, who considered killing several celebrities to gain infamy for himself. He ended up picking Lennon because he was an easy target.
Alan Boyce this PROVES yoko ono was very much involved because she claimed thats what happened to to his father when she supposedly explained that the man who killed daddy was a crazed fan and a confused person turns out that gloria Abe Chapman also happens to be a close relative of yokos ...3rd cousin several times removed I think...

Much appreciated! Thank you!❤
Thank you for this wonderful study on The Dakota!
This Channel is so underrated
Wow! Great video.
Jack Lemmon lived there. The apartments are Big and many overlook the Park.
Isn't this where Rosemary's Baby was filmed....This building gives me the creeps..
Yes, the exterior shots were filmed there.
when I saw the plaza, I said, "kinda looks like the dakota towards the top" interesting. Same architect , I was right
very creative Nat!
You are such a delightful young lady - thank you
Don’t forget that actress and wife of Humfrey Bogart Lauren Bacall resided there possibly the longest celebrity resident.
great vid
I was so happy to get my unit. 👻
Old world Tartarian architecture. Beautiful
The Beatles were as incredibly good people as they were singers/ song writers/ musicians. I love The Beatles.
Nice video.
Great video! Thanks! I have liked and subscribed.

Who is this narrator? She is absolutely beautiful

'Julie Garland' ?? WTH.... 'Nova Scota" ??? WTH... that Dakota name story is a legend btw, the builders just liked the name 'Dakota'
Lauren Bacall lived there for 55 years. Bono lives there too.
Yoko still owns that apartment but primarily lives in upstate New York now.
Nice job! Loved the background info.
thank you loved the video pretty girl

since you brought up the fact that he was shot five times did anyone come outside and see what was going on?
He was actually shot at 5 times and hit 4.
The doorman witnessed the killing.

stressful!! but worth it
Unfortunately Ono moved away and sold the apartment :(
“Nova Scota”🤣
I couldn't speak properly that day I filmed my apologies!
Shout out to Rosemary's baby...
The correct name is JUDY Garland, not Julie.
your apartment is on fire... it's probably out by now
The name was not because it was remote. The builder just liked the name. Do research.
*John's wife = Ringo's wife, in fact.
Julie Garland?? whos that.
"I murdered John--and George--and Linda. I got by with a lotta help from YO. (Oy!) Framed Ringo. Help, esq!"
Did you say Julie Garland?
Judy garland!!
Kinda sounds like you said Julie.... can’t get that name wrong! If I heard wrong, my bad xo Great video 👍
Yes, she did.
I would never give this assassin any credit toward John Lennon.
Why should he become anonymous?
@@SecretAgentPaul Why give this dirt bag any affiliation connected to John Lennon?
Bad Vibe. Talked someone out of moving there.
why isn't she calling the fire department?

so john Lennon's apartment is worth more cause he haunts too. 😂😂😂😂
In loving memory; Of the dead puke from the Beatles. Yoko, you can stop hiding now.
