"The fictional Arconia is a prewar, entire-block apartment building on New York City's Upper West Side. It draws inspiration from real buildings in the neighborhood, like the Apthorp, the Dakota (where John Lennon was shot and where Rosemary's Baby is set), and the Belnord, which lends its exterior as a filming location for Only Murders in the Building. While the Arconia was canonically designed by architect Archibald Carter, the Belnord was originally constructed in 1908 by architectural firm Hiss and Weekes."
"with a final bump to 231 flats during its most recent redesign by Robert A.M. Stern Architects in 2018. The condos overlook an interior courtyard-which at the time of construction was the largest interior courtyard in the world and remains one of the largest in New York City today-featuring landscaped gardens and fountains. Everyone from Martha Stewart to Lee Strasberg, Marilyn Monroe's acting coach whom she would visit there, have called the Belnord home."
