The northern end of Roosevelt Island was completely reconstructed following the Second American Civil War, adding several small parks among the newly constructed residential buildings. The Fournier-Bianco Memorial Hospital complex dominates the northern end of the island until it tapers out towards the picturesque landscape of the Lighthouse Park. The northern portion of Roosevelt Island is by and large the most spacious, occupied by the dominant Main Street that runs like vital artery down the middle of the island's bustling market district.
