Built between 1880-1884, this historic building appears to be

North German Renaissance on the exterior but with the French en filade-style for the apartments. The homes were designed to have cross ventilation from the courtyard through to street side, which was rarely used during that period. Good thing too because just the thought of all that heavy Victorian clothing on a hot day in NY with no A/C is almost enough to make us faint dead away. The building is probably the most well known for the murder of John Lennon in 1980 for which the whole world grieved. His wife, Yoko Ono still has several apartments in the building.
