Smallpox Memorial Hospital

Smallpox Memorial Hospital is a historic landmark on Roosevelt Island in New York City that attracts architecture and history lovers.

These picturesque ruins of a 19th century neo-Gothic hospital that once treated smallpox patients are now a fascinating example of architecture in a state of natural decay.

The site offers a unique opportunity for photography and contemplation of New York City's medical past, while also being a testament to ancient times and health challenges.
