I'd go with 8-10 seconds at f16 for ISO 200, then bracket around that to be
sure. Depends on the lighting, though, and also the effect you're looking
for. Also keep in mind that if you're shooting daylight film the colors
might come out different than you'd expect. Again, that might be a terrific
effect in the end, but be aware going in.
These kinds of shots are usually made stopped down to ensure greater depth
of field and thus better chance of proper focus, which is more difficult to
determine in low-light situations, naturally.
You might also want to try this with a slower film emulsion, say 100 or
even 50. There no rush up on a tripod when it comes to buildings, and the
slower emulsion will yield a "better" image.

I would like to know how to take a picture of a well
illuminated building at night. I will be using a good
tripod and an OM-4 with a variety of lenses mainly a
24-shift, 135 3.5, and 50 1.4 or 1.8., and Kodak Gold
200 film. What I would like to know is what f-stops I
should be shooting at. Whther I should be using mirror
and apeture prefire. Can I use auto or do I have to
use bulb. If I have to use bulb, how long, (in genral
should I use it for?) Can I use a cable release? And
finally is there anything else, any tips or tricks I
should think about when taking the picture, or if
there is anything I missed that I have to do when
taking the picture. Thank you for your answers
