The area is mainly remembered as a treatment destination for contagious patients. The quarantine station opened in the 1880s and was used to isolate patients during the smallpox, bubonic plaque and Spanish influenza outbreaks. In the latter part of its history the buildings were used to quarantine and house Vietnamese refugees before its closure in 1979.
