An Overview
For most of history, humans lived in houses or separate dwellings. Large or extended families connected by blood or marriage lived in the same hut or in a house. It was not until the early twentieth century that unconnected people lived permanently under the same roof in what is now known as flats or apartments. But history records that the first upper class blocks of flats were built in Victoria, London way back in 1853. The early flats, were however luxurious combining the best of private living and hotel facilities.
The apartments had self-contained suites, with services like housekeeping, catering and cleaning. Apartments were not popular to start with because close living was fraught with apprehensions like spread of infections and noise. With time, however, people’s attitude changed. Living in apartments became acceptable because it was no longer possible to have separate dwellings due to paucity and prohibitively high cost of space.
Luxury Apartments
One of the first luxury apartment buildings in New York City was Dakota. This building built in 1884 was conspicuous by its high gables and deep roofs, terracotta spandrels and panels exuding the North German Renaissance character.
