Ephemeral New York has the story of the "Harlem Dakota," a building called Graham Court, that opened at West 116th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard in 1901. The building was designed by the same people responsible for the Apthorp and the Astor and was the first luxury apartment building in Harlem, with a limestone facade, an inner courtyard, and top-floor servants' quarters. The building's facade was landmarked in 1984. [ENY]
