The Last Unknown Place in NYC
North Brother Island is among the most unexpected of places: an uninhabited island of ruins in New York City that hardly anyone knows; a secret existing in plain sight. Christopher Payne was allowed in the island to record the buildings and evolving landscape.
From the artist:
North Brother Island came into prominence in the late 19th century, when public health issues of an exploding population regularly made headlines. Like other islands in the harbor, it was perfectly suited as a buffer against contagions, and from the 1870s through the 1930s it was used primarily as a quarantine hospital (the infamous Typhoid Mary was confined there). After WWII it provided a temporary home for veterans, and from the 1950s it was used as a juvenile drug treatment center until its closure in 1963. Over the years, new uses have been proposed for the island, but by and large it has been forgotten.
North Brother Island: The Last Unknown Place In New York City was published by Empire Editions/Fordham University Press in 2014, with an introduction by author Robert Sullivan and history by Randall Mason.
