- North Brother, a derelict hospital island in the Bronx under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. On a map, the place where the 29-acre island would be shows only water. "But things have a way of coming back; they resurface." Randall Mason. 1880s - Contagious disease hospital 1904 - Downing of the steamship General Slocum, which sank just offshore carrying German immigrants on a holiday outing. Nurses and patients on the island rescued nearly 250 passengers, but more than one thousand people died. 1943 - Tuberculosis hospital & then housed World War II veterans who were attending college in the city through the GI Bill. 1952 - Treatment facility for juvenile drug addicts. 1964 - Abandoned. Now - Part of a chain of small islands throughout the region called the "harbor herons complex," to protect the Black-crowned Night Heron

- North Brother Island in the East River is visited by rare birds, the occasional park employee, and photographer Christopher Payne, whose work documents the Art Deco hospital, Neo-Gothic morgue, and other ruins there. The complex is a crumbling testament to an era with a greater sense of civic duty. By Alan G. Brake

- Typhoid Mary was there when she died.......................................It is fascinating that something can be right in front of you every day and be invisible. It makes one wonder what we're missing right now.

- Incredible photos, and a story of a photographer that looks for "lost cities" in the American landscape--buildings that have served their purpose and are left abandoned. I could really get in on a gig like this.
