The scene

What happened at 55 Central Park West

Dana’s apartment building becomes the portal for Gozer, and the Ghostbusters face off against the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man at its base.

The real building is a 1930 Art Deco co-op. The rooftop temple was added with models and matte paintings, so don’t look for it.
