Hamilton-Madison House has been servicing the residents of Manhattan's Lower East Side since 1898.

Due to the extreme influx in population, lack of infrastructure and government assistance during this time, the quality of life in the impoverished neighborhood was incredibly dismal and disease spread rampantly among immigrants.
