Nosogeography: Renwick Ruins, Roosevelt Island, Manhattan

BY | Posted on | FILED UNDER Categories Manhattan, Nosogeography

Today I took a guided tour of Southpoint Park on Roosevelt Island as part of Open House New York (OHNY). This 14 acre parcel of land is the site of the ruins of the James Renwick, Jr. Smallpox Hospital (1856) and the Strecker Laboratory (1892).
