Strecker Memorial Laboratory is a historic building at Southpoint Park onRoosevelt Island inNew York City. Built in 1892 to serve as a laboratory forCity Hospital, it was "the first institution in the nation for pathological and bacteriological research". The project was funded by the Strecker family.^[3] The building was designed by architectsFrederick Clarke Withers andWalter Dickson in theRomanesque Revival style with large arched windows to provide plenty of natural lighting and ventilation. On the first floor were anautopsy room and an office, while the floor above housed laboratories where specimens were examined. The cellar was used as a mortuary and for storage. Administrative support was provided by the nearbyCity Hospital. An additional storey was later built, providing room for the examination of histological samples, a scientific library and a pathology museum.^[4]^[3]^[5]^[6]

In 1907, theRussell Sage Institute of Pathology took over the running of the lab.^[3] In time, this became associated with theRockefeller University, and work continued at the laboratory until it closed in the 1950s, after which it fell into disrepair.^[3]

In 1972, it was added to theNational Register of Historic Places,^[7] and in 1976 it was designated aNew York City landmark.^[2]

TheMetropolitan Transportation Authority purchased the building in the late 1990s to house a power conversion substation^[8] for thesubway trains that run through the53rd Street Tunnel underneath Roosevelt Island. The MTA restored the building's exterior, and the substation has been active since 2000.^[5]
