Lenox Health Greenwich Village Hospital - Northwell Health (New York City, New York)

 hospital, interesting place, movie / film / TV location, Modern (architecture)

5-story office and hospital building completed in 1963. Designed by Arthur A. Schiller and Albert Ledner for the National Maritime Union of America to serve as both its headquarters and Port of New York office.

The main portion of the building is white, built above two curving glass-block walls. It has two overhangs at the top floors which are dramatized by their scalloped edge profiles, which are reminiscent of portholes or waves. The rectangularized pattern of the jointing of the stone veneer lends a new dimension to the building.

The building was taken over by St. Vincent's Hospital in 1977 and became the O'Toole Medical Services Building. In 2008, the building was closed, and plans made to replace it with a new tower, but St. Vincent's closed before that could happen. Instead, the building was redeveloped as a stand-alone emergency room and medical care center run by the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, and reopened in 2014 as the Phyllis & William Mack Pavilion of the Lenox Hill Healthplex. The interior was rebuilt to a new design by Perkins Eastman Architects.

It served as a filming location for the 2020 Netflix documentary series "Lenox Hill" which filmed at the Northwell Health System hospitals of the Lenox Health in New York City.
