About The Octagon, Roosevelt Island
Roosevelt Island, part of New York City, is the site of The Octagon, at 888 Main Street. It dates to 1834 and forms a complex with attached apartment buildings. It began as the entrance to a hospital for mental health, called the New York City Lunatic Asylum, opening in 1841. Alexander Jackson Davis designed the five-story rotunda, built of blue-gray stone quarried on the island.
Nothing else of the hospital remains. The Metropolitan Hospital took in the structure in 1894. The hospital closed in 1955, and the building stood abandoned. Decay over many years and two fires had left it close to ruin, but it joined the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1972.
After restoration, it reopened in April 2006 as the lobby entrance of two adjoining apartment buildings, which hold 500 units in total. Solar panels and fuel cells serve the apartments: a 50 kW array and a 400 kW fuel cell together supply over half of the building’s power. A residential building modeled on the original structure received LEED Silver status in 2008.
