Скачать или смотреть Inside The Dakota Apartments: The Gilded Age Apartments That Redefined Elite Living

New York once believed true wealth demanded privacy — a mansion, a gate, and distance from neighbors. Then The Dakota arrived and quietly rewrote the rules of elite living.

Rising on the edge of Central Park in the 1880s, The Dakota looked less like an apartment building and more like a medieval fortress. Critics mocked it as “Clark’s Folly,” a bizarre gamble planted far north of respectable society. Living among strangers, they said, would never appeal to New York’s elite.

They were wrong. This documentary traces how The Dakota transformed apartment living from necessity into aspiration — and how a single Gilded Age gamble reshaped how America’s elite chose to live.
