Summary[edit]

Description
English: Washington Institute and City Reservoir

In 1830 the New York City Fire Department's first reservoir (the octagonal building) was erected near the southeast corner of 13th Street and Fourth Avenue; in 1850 New York Medical College was founded in a new building on the site, at 112 East 13th Street.

The Washington Institute on 13th Street was a private school for boys; in the late 1840s the Roman Catholic Sisters of Charity acquired the property and founded St. Vincent's Hospital there.
