Smallpox Under Renovation

Ruins of the Renwick Smallpox Hospital in South Point Park on Roosevelt Island NY Shot from atop my minivan to overlook the 8 foot fence surrounding the crumbling structure Vehicular access to South Point Park requires a permit Due to the reconstruction efforts scaffolding has been erected over much of the facade This portion was the only part that remained unobstructed Opened in 1856 this smallpox hospital on the southern tip of Blackwell s Island now Roosevelt Island was part of a multitude of public institutions to care for New York City s unfortunate and destitute The island sits between Queens and Manhattan and was easily accessible by ferry it was home to a prison insane asylum and other similar facilities The remote location made this a prime location for the care of victims of smallpox although both charity cases and paying patrons were admitted The 100 bed facility was designed by architect James Renwick Jr whose more notable works include St Patrick s Cathedral and Grace Church The lower floors were used for charity cases and the paying inpatients were kept in private rooms on the upper floors The original structure measured 354 x 122 ft and was divided into 29 wards the smallest of which contained 13 beds and the largest 39 As of 1872 an annual number of 7 000 patients were treated with an average of 450 deaths The imposing gothic structure was emptied of patients in 1886 and was used both as a nurses home as well as The Maternity and Charity Hospital Training School Welfare Island was renamed once again to Roosevelt Island in 1973 and during this time Renwick fell into ruin quickly even though it was deemed a historic landmark worthy of preserving The Hospital is currently undergoing reconstruction
