It's on Google maps at 1 Remsen Street Brooklyn.

Looked much better with the ivy.

I was in fact able to find it by searching for the address given by Michael, 10 Montague Terrace. That address finds the cul de sac and the building, but when you switch to street view in front of the building (you know, to look up to see the priest at the window), it does indeed say Remsen St.

...seems an odd place to have the earthly portal to hell though....Satan was doing most of his terrestrial work in Galilee and the Holy Land...may be why transatlantic flights are called the red-eye..?

At the end of the movie, the old brick building is demolished, and a new modern one is shown on the same location. But as we've discussed, Google Maps shows the old building as still standing. Does anyone here know how they made the new building look so realistic? I know that they are able to do matte art and overlay stuff that isn't there. But it's really convincing. What's the deal?

reply

one of the other threads mentions that they built the whole facade of a modern apartment block around the original old building
