The scene
What happened at Hook & Ladder 8 Firehouse
The Ghostbusters set up shop in a rundown firehouse, and this Tribeca station played the exterior. The interiors were filmed in a Los Angeles fire station.
The building dates from 1903. The New York Fire Department still runs Ladder Company 8 from here, and the crew is famously proud of its movie fame.
Then & Now
On location today
The firehouse looks just as it does in the film, and the Ghostbusters logo is on show. Fans leave patches and notes for the crew.
Line up the shot
Stand on the corner of N Moore and Varick, facing the building at an angle, to get both facades.

“The crew was out front washing the truck and happily posed with the sign. Bring a patch if you have one: they collect them.”
