If you've seen the 1984 film Ghostbusters, you'll remember the menacing Shandor Building, home to Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) or as Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) called it "Spook Central".

The model for this building was based on the 55 Central Park West building, which is a real apartment building in New York City, built in 1929 by Schwartz & Gross architects. The fictional structure that we see in the movie was filmed using a miniature model of 55 Central Park West, with a significant addition to the roof, capped with a temple to Gozer. In the film, the architect (fictionally) was described to be Ivo Shandor, who built it in 1922 as an "antenna to the spirit world" for the Gozerian Society.


I've completed the entire exterior, but the interior is empty. The building does have floors and I did build Gozer's domain inside the temple. Enjoy!
