Fire Station No. 23 was originally built in the early 1900s as a working fire station. It was the headquarters of the LAFD for ten years, and it was nicknamed the “Taj Mahal” of fire stations because of its ornate and expensive interior. After fifty years in business, the station shut down, but it was given a new purpose: making movies.

No. 23 is best known as the fire station from Ghostbusters, but the popular filming location also has credits that include The Mask, Flatliners, Firehouse, Police Academy 2, and National Security. Though the firehouse is retired from the saving-people business, it is in use for blockbuster hits.
