The R & S Building, also known as the Nicholas Scoppetta Children's Center, is a historic structure located at the southeast corner of First Avenue and East 29th Street in the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, United States. Designed in 1903 by McKim, Mead & White as part of the firm's master plan for Bellevue Hospital, it was built to accommodate the hospital's pathological building and a dormitory for male staff. The building also housed the city's Office of Chief Medical Examiner until 1961. From the late 1970s until the late 1990s, the R & S Building sat vacant, during which it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The structure was renovated around the turn of the century and has housed an intake center for children entering foster care since 2001.
