North and South Brother Islands, Nature reserve in East River, New York, US.
North and South Brother Islands consist of 26 acres of protected land situated between the Bronx and Rikers Island in New York's East River.
The North Brother Island housed Riverside Hospital from the 1880s until 1945, treating patients with infectious diseases including the famous case of Typhoid Mary.
The deteriorating structures on North Brother Island stand as physical reminders of New York City's early approaches to managing public health emergencies.
The islands remain closed to general public access, with permits granted exclusively to researchers and journalists accompanied by park officials.
The abandoned buildings of North Brother Island persist beneath dense vegetation, while South Brother Island maintains its natural state for migratory birds.
