North Brother Island, New York
Lying quietly in New York’s East River, North Brother Island was once home to a quarantine hospital and later a rehabilitation center. Now overgrown with trees and vines, it’s off-limits to the public except for authorized tours. The decaying buildings peek through the greenery like ghosts of another time. The island serves as a sanctuary for birds. and a haunting reminder of New York’s hidden history.
