Hook and Ladder 8 is a fully operational firehouse in Tribeca, Manhattan, renowned as the exterior filming location for the headquarters in the Ghostbusters movie franchise. Located at 14 North Moore Street, it is a historic, active fire station established in 1865 and serves as a popular pop-culture landmark.
The firehouse was selected as the base of the Ghostbusters for the 1984 film after an early draft of the script envisioned the Ghostbusters as a public service much like the fire department. Reportedly, the firehouse was chosen because the writer and actor Dan Aykroyd knew the area and liked the building. While the firehouse served as the set for exterior scenes, the interior of the Ghostbusters base was shot in a Los Angeles studio, and in Fire Station No. 23, a decommissioned Los Angeles firehouse.
