Back in 2007, at a youthful 151-years-old, the eerie smallpox hospital on Roosevelt Island suffered a major collapse on the north facade. The NY Times checks in now, as a team of engineers, architects, masons and more have swooped in to save the landmark, which was designed by James Renwick Jr., the architect of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Take a look at the progress on the guided video tour, where they mention the future fixed-up structure could house performances and a cafe. Too bad it won't be in time for the Roosevelt Live concert series.

Crazy to hear about this. I am half way through the Demon in the Freezer now. A great read if you can stomach it.
how soon does TAPS show up and film an episode of Ghost Hunters?
I don't know about the rest of you but I won't go near that place for at least the next 50 years. If I lived on Roosevelt Island I'd keep a bag packed in case I had to make a run for it.
Perhaps a good place to hang out if the zombies descend? Seems creepily appropriate...
