In 1961, actress Lauren Bacall bought a three-bedroom apartment overlooking Central Park at the Dakota in New York and lived there for the last 53 years of her life. Now the apartment is for sale (for $26 million) and most of her art, antiques, and other possessions will go up for auction March 31 and April 1 through Bonham’s Auction House. The catalog for the auction is 375 pages, and they include photographs of Bacall’s home before it was stripped and prepped for real estate photos. Curbed has a selection of those photographs, so you don’t have to download the entire catalog.
