Blackwell House, located at the corner of East Road and Main Street in New York City, is a charming wooden home that dates back to 1796. Originally built for the Blackwell family, who owned the island for generations, this historic farmhouse is now a living museum showcasing the history of Roosevelt Island through exhibits and archives.
Over the years, Blackwell House has served as living quarters for various wardens and institutions, including the almshouse, hospitals, and penitentiary. Recently renovated, the exterior of the colonial home has been restored, while the interior now houses the island's historical treasures and records. Visitors can explore the first floor of Blackwell House and learn about the island's landmarked structures, community stories, and experiences.
