Now a ruin, the Gothic Revival Smallpox Hospital was designed by James Renwick Jr., the architect of St. Patrick’s Cathedral , and opened in 1856, on what then was Blackwell’s Island .

1856-1950 condemned smallpox hospital designed by notable St Patricks Cathedral architect James Renwick . Preserved Gothic structure is surreal in its decay, particularly at night when it's lit up.

Vito Tartaglia

This ruin has a gothic charm. A plus to pay a visit to Roosevelt island .

Cool urban ruin, close to the tip of Roosevelt Island which has a nice view of the city .

Amol Utrankar

It's worth the two-minute look if you're here visiting the island , but it's nothing to go out of the way for.
