The New York Filming Locations of The Godfather, Then and Now
On March 29, 1971, The Godfather, considered by many to be one of the greatest films ever made, began principal photography in New York City.
Because the film is a period piece, The Godfather actually presents a fascinating record of what 1940s-era New York City locations still existed in the early-1970s. Sadly, many of them are now gone. What still remains? Let’s take a closer look.

I'm really going to dig through it later.
Psst - I bought an arts and crafts early 1900's home out in the 'horse country' of NJ . . . I loved the interior -
My husband fell in love with the exterior. . . know why? Guess why?!?
The God Father is his second favorite movie after the Petrified Forest. And so on top of looking like the Corleone 'big house' - the former owner of our house was the brother of Red Foran.
My husband is in historical heaven.
