Firehouse, Hook & Ladder Company 8

This Beaux-Arts style fire station at 14 North Moore Street houses the New York City Fire Department Hook and Ladder Company 8 with a single entrance door.

The 1903 structure underwent modifications in 1913 when Varick Street widening reduced the building to half its original size, eliminating one of its two vehicle doors.

The fire station gained global recognition as the exterior filming location for the Ghostbusters headquarters in the 1984 movie and subsequent franchise installations.

While the station maintains active firefighting operations, visitors can view the exterior and purchase commemorative patches when firefighters open the main door.

The building displays a full-size Ghostbusters sign above its entrance, donated in 2021 by The Buffalo Ghostbusters organization.
