An Abandoned Mansion In NYC Raises Questions

The Island Today

Fast forward 40 years to vines spread across the island engulfing the buildings slowly but surely; this island was forgotten for quite awhile. In the 70’s, it became a popular boating spot where light vandalization did occur to the 26 individual foundations that are found on the island.

However, within the last 11 years or so, the island along with 17 of the other islands surrounding the state of New York, has been used by the New York City Audubon as a Weather Bird Breeding environment.
