The evolution of Roosevelt Island itself is illustrated in the history of the Blackwell House, a historic home built between 1796 and 1804. Over the centuries, the home has served as a private residence, housing for penitentiary workers, and more. For decades, it was left abandoned. Here, we look at before-and-after photos as we retrace the history of this New York City landmark. Join us for a visit to see the stunning restoration for yourself and go inside!
