This book is the history of the building called the Dakota from when it was first built to sometime in the 1970's.  (It doesn't exactly say when it was written or the last year it is about.  It was reprinted in 2015, but it didn't include the date of the first printing.  Also it ends with John Lennon living in the Dakota, but not his death.)    Besides being famous after the book stops, it was famous from it's earliest days.  This book goes over the founder of the Dakota, life in New York at that time, it's being made and major events in the history of the building.
