The Octagon, built in 1834, is a historic octagonal building and attached apartment block complex located at 888 Main Street on Roosevelt Island in New York City. It originally served as the main entrance to the New York City Mental Health Hospital (also known as the New York City Lunatic Asylum), which opened in 1841. Designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, the five-story rotunda was made of blue-gray stone that was quarried on the island. The Octagon is the last remnant of the hospital, and after many years of decay and two fires, was close to ruin. After restoration, it has now been incorporated into the adjacent buildings to create a large apartment complex.

  • La Okangulo estas okangula konstruaĵo sur Insulo Roosevelt en la usona urbo Novjorko. Ĝi estis desegnita kiel parto de la Novjorka Azilo por Frenezuloj, kaj ĝia konstruado finiĝis en la jaro 1834. La blu-grizaj ŝtonoj, kiuj formas la tegmenton de la Okangulo, estis minitaj sur la insulo mem. Poste, la konstruaĵo fariĝis parto de la Metropola Malsanulejo en la jaro 1891. La Okangulon, kiel parto de tiu malsanulejo, oni fermis en 1955; la konstruaĵo tiam fariĝis abandonita. Post du fajroj kaj multe da kadukiĝo, la Okangulo estis novigita, kaj remalfermiĝis en 2006 kiel parto de apartamentaro. (eo)

  • Октагон — историческое восьмиугольное здание, расположенное на острове Рузвельт в Нью-Йорке по адресу Мейн-стрит, 888. Первоначально он служил главным входом в Нью-Йоркскую психиатрическую лечебницу, открытую в 1841 году. Пятиэтажная ротонда, спроектированная Александром Джексоном Дэвисом, была сделана из серо-голубого камня, который добывался на острове. Октагон является последней оставшейся частью больницы, и после многих лет упадка и двух пожаров долгие годы находился в разрушенном состоянии. В настоящее время после реставрации является входом в большой жилой комплекс «Октагон». * * (ru)
