Original Building of the Fish Hatchery

The New York Fisheries Commission established a hatching station, the second in New York state, at Cold Spring Harbor in 1881 to help prevent the elimination of local game fish. After a meeting between Fish Commissioner Eugene Blackford, who also sat on the board of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, Adelphi zoology professor Franklin Hooper, and one of Cold Spring Harbor's largest landowners, John D. Jones, a plan was devised for the Brooklyn Institute to set up a seaside biological laboratory on Long Island. During the 1890s, the Fish Hatchery Commission lent the first floor of the Fish Hatchery Building to the Institute during the summer only.
