Looking northwest across the grounds, this general view takes in Ellis Island as a whole rather than any single building. The island in Upper New York Bay served as the country's main immigration station from 1892 until it closed in 1954. A fire in 1897 destroyed the original structures, and the brick main building that replaced them was completed in 1900. Photographs from 1978 record the site decades after its peak years, before the island was restored and reopened as a museum in 1990.
