This tuberculosis hospital must have been a lonely place for the patients, away from their families. Another type of "Quarantined" hospital that comes to mind, is the abandoned hospital on the south side of Ellis Island, known as the "Forgotten Ellis Island." (also known as islands 2 and 3) It is a place where they originally detained some immigrants and denied them entry into the United States due to possible diseases, including tuberculosis, between 1892-1954. Very sad. The poor denied souls had a view of the Statue of Liberty, but could not experience Her freedom by entering its shores. About 1% of the immigration population fell into this catagory. The photographer, Steven Wilkes, has captured the hauntingly beautiful ruins of this hospital in a photo book. Mr. Motts, you too, should produce a book featuring your fine photographs.
