Sepia Saturday Smallpox Hospital Roosevelt Island
Happy Saturday everyone and as it is Saturday time for a Sepia Saturday post for the challenge hosted by .
This is a challenge I enjoy joining I love how Sepia Images have a sort of timeless feel to them, that said I seldom did Sepia till this challenge started, but now I try and make it a regular thing for my Saturday morning post, and with how I do love colorful images and share a lot of them, it makes a nice change on my feed.
For this post I decided to share a few shots the old Small Pox Hospital on Roosevelt Island, which has been vacant and looking run down since I moved here maybe 15 years ago, I have taken shots of it in the distance from Manhattan, but recently I went for a walk around part of the island and so have some shots of it closer up for this post

The hosptial is located at the Souther tip of the Island adjacent to a new park that only opens at 10 AM and As I was there a little after 7Am I could not check that out on this walk,
The Hospital was opened in 1856 and this location wa spicked as a sort of good location for a quarantine area I do believe, it closed 100 years later and eventually fell into disrepair as these shots show

in 1972 it was listed on the National Register of historic places, and the ongoing project that is estimated to cost around $4,5 Million it will be open to the public
I slip in a bit of color for this shot of the sign
