9. New York Supreme Court Building

The New York Supreme Court is notable for its hexagonal shaped structure. It was built in 1919 by architect by Guy Lowell, who beat out other reputable architects for the assignment, and it opened in 1927. The location plays a crucial role in The Godfather, for it is the first location used in the famous massacre scene that Michael set up to take care of all his father’s enemies. The family’s main antagonist Emilio “The Wolf” Barzini and an associate exit the Supreme Court building and are both shot dead by a disguised police officer.
