Dakota building, the place John Lennon lived and was killed.
The Polanski movie Rosemary's Baby was filmed here.

The Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded their album, 'Abbey Road'.
Does anyone want to write a story about that traffic sign? Martin? Geert? Miguel?

yes, Abbey Road and the Abbey Road Studios where The Beatles have recorded their last album (though not their last album brought out); The End is the forelast number on Abbey Road; and after Abbey Road it was the end for the Fab Four; the album-cover has risen a lot of speculations about the end of Paul; and in 2010 it was almost the end for this famous studios.
the sign says the work is ending on that spot; so i'm curious for what was going on for instance on the palce where you have taken this photo.
and thanks, AbĂlio, for this bueautiful contribution to the forum-topic.

A nice piece of history:
The Beatles had been wondering what to do for their next LP-cover for some time. All their previous cover shots had been groundbreaking, from the simple (but nevertheless classic) posing on the stairs of EMI house in Manchester square for Please Please Me, through the darkly lit four faces of With The Beatles, the filmstrip style adopted for A Hard Day's Night, the solemn look of Beatles For Sale, the semaphore signs of Help!, the distorted Rubber Soul cover, the award-winning collage of Revolver, the meticulously arranged splendor of Sgt Pepper and the stark contrast of The Beatles (White Album). You can just close your eyes and picture them all, can't you? At one point, what we refer to as Abbey Road was going to be called Everest (after a brand of cigarettes, smoked by the Beatles' engineer, Geoff Emerick), and the Beatles were going to be photographed at the foot of this famous mountain in the Himalayas. In the end, they couldn't be bothered. One of them (probably Paul) said: Hey, why don't we just have our picture taken as we walk across the crossing just outside here and call the LP Abbey Road? All having agreed on this, John contacted a photographer friend of his and Yoko's, Iain MacMillan, and a photo shoot was set up. At 11.35, MacMillan stood on a stepladder and took six photos of the group walking across, while a policeman held up traffic. Some time later, Paul McCartney studied the negatives under a magnifying glass and chose the image (no.5) that is now so familiar. The LP came out, became the world's no. 1 selling LP, Abbey Road became a household word, the cover inspired countless of other hopeful bands to imitate the sleeve, and even EMI's recording studios were instantly renamed.
