Today’s Final Jeopardy

The title locale of this series is really the Belnord, dating to 1908 & located at 86th & Broadway on N.Y.C.’s upper west side

Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Only Murders in the Building

Final Jeopardy Explanation

The series “Only Murders in the Building” uses the Belnord, a historical building dating to 1908 and located at 86th Street and Broadway on New York City’s Upper West Side, as the inspiration for its title locale. While the show’s narrative centers around a fictional apartment building where a series of murders take place, the actual Belnord serves as the real-life counterpart to this setting.

The series is set in a fictional building named the Arconia, which is a central character in its own right. The Arconia is depicted as a grand, old, and somewhat quirky New York City apartment building, mirroring the charm and idiosyncrasies of the city itself. In reality, the exterior shots and some interior scenes are filmed at the Belnord, a historic luxury apartment building located at 86th Street and Broadway on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

The Belnord, designed by famed architects Hiss and Weekes, was completed in 1908 and is known for its Italian Renaissance style. The building encompasses an entire city block and is renowned for its large, elegant courtyard, a feature that is quite rare in New York City. The Belnord was one of the city’s first full-block apartment complexes and was designated a New York City landmark in 1966.
