North Brother Island History
Hidden in New York’s East River is an island time seems to have forgotten. From the 1880s, North Brother Island housed Riverside Hospital, used to isolate patients with contagious diseases. It later became associated with Mary Mallon, known as ‘Typhoid Mary,’ a healthy carrier of typhoid bacteria. After decades of changing uses, the island’s last treatment center closed in 1963. Left behind, its buildings slowly deteriorated. Today, the island is protected as a natural area. What other forgotten stories lie hidden beside America’s greatest cities?
