That explains the doors you can sorta see behind the wall in Ghostbusters: The video game. Cool detail!

Amazing video on the history of both houses! Wish there were more historic photos of Hook&Ladder 8 out there, would love to see it entirely when it was double the size before 1914. Personally I think they should turn FS23 into a Ghostbusters museum. It's a shame they got rid of the original lockers, as seen in both films and there since 1910 some years ago...

@@unfinishedstudios. I'm glad you continuing on with this project. From helping my Dad build his homebuilt airplane as a kid until my early teens I know it takes time to gather all the items that goes into building something like your second Ghostbusters replica. Especially as you intend to leave the first one as it is for it to eventually become your little daughter's car. Then the two of you can go out on Daddy / Daughter tag team parade drives dressed in character.

Ghostbusters & The Mask were filmed here, but this is common to reuse locations like the Western Union office 118 S.Wabash in the film (118 Winston in L.A.) in The Sting which I read had been used in more than 10 films & shows. And also the Universal Backlot, NY streets, Courthouse Square. The Sting, Bye Bye Birdie, Rock a Bye Baby1958, Leave it to beaver1957, City Heat 1984, Back to the Future.

If I won the lottery, I'd ask the city to sell it to me. Fantastic video of the history of this beautiful LA building. Then again, I'd just get the blueprints of this place and build a clone elsewhere.

I've often wondered what would happen if they filmed the movie at that firehouse instead of Hook and ladder 8

@debrameyer1125 Жыл бұрын

I believe there will be another Ghostbusters movie. I was downtown Manhattan last summer and the Ghostbusters sign was hanging on Hook and Ladder 8, which is a working firehouse. The sign only hangs when they are filming.

They called it skid row cause when they were logging the nearby county in the late 1800s they would roll the logs down the hill into the harbour. That's why they called it skid row.

I can remember when my family and I went to LA for the 2019 ghostbusters fan fest. That firehouse was the quickest visit of all the film locations we hit while we were there. We just did some drive by photos and then bolted out of that neighborhood. Btw, how’s your process going on the ‘65 Ecto-1?

I wouldn't recommend driving anything very heavy into an old horse drawn firehouse like that . The apparatus floor as it is called now in most NYC fire houses, is not designed to handle the weight. I did a fuel tank survey in NYFD houses and the old ones had hundreds of lally columns holding the apparatus floor from falling into the basement .

@DEGyStudios Nice! Hope your build is going better than mine. Got about 1,000 other projects going -- so the Wreckto-1 has sort of taken a bake seat. Ecto-1A is close to driving (and we've even maybe gotten a Mystery Machine on our hands!)

I would imagine as it is an active house they wouldn't have been able to take over the building for the duration of filming the interior scenes so a similarly styled disused house was found.
