What is the most famous quarantine island in New York?
The most famous quarantine island in New York City is probably North Brother Island. From 1885 until around 1940, it was home to Riverside Hospital, a quarantine hospital that was formerly located on Roosevelt Island (then called Blackwell Island). Typhoid Mary was housed on North Brother Island from around 1918 until her death in 1938.
North Brother Island was actually a quarantine island even before Riverside Hospital relocated there. From 1871 to 1885, it was home to a tuberculosis hospital built by the Sisters of Charity.
The island is currently abandoned and the hospital is in ruins. Because the hospital buildings are in danger of collapsing, and because the island is now a bird sanctuary (home to a rare colony of black-crowned night herons) the island is off-limits to the public.
