When John Lennon and Yoko Ono moved to New York City in August 1971, they lived at the St Regis Hotel for two months before moving to an apartment at 105 Bank Street in the West Village.
The couple rented the apartment from The Lovin’ Spoonful’s drummer-vocalist Joe Butler, and lived there until 1973 when they moved to their apartment in the Dakota building on West 72nd Street.
