FDNY Ladder 8

This guide to FDNY Ladder 8 in Tribeca follows the firehouse from its 1903 construction through its unlikely second life as the Ghostbusters headquarters, after director Dan Aykroyd chose the building for its exterior in 1984. It then turns to the morning of September 11, 2001, when Hook and Ladder Eight was among the first companies to respond to the World Trade Center less than a mile away. Look for the memorial plaque at the entrance before you move on.
