Notes
  • Significance: The New Immigration Building is one of three major New Deal-era buildings at Ellis Island created to meet the changing scope of immigration services at the facility. Constructed on fill joining Island 1 and Island 2, the New Immigration Building was intended as the new processing center for the diminishing numbers of arriving immigrants, while the existing Baggage and Dormitory Building and the Main Immigration building on Island 1 handled the increasing number of deportees. The clean lines and minimalist detailing of the New Immigration Building set this building apart from the ornate Beaux Arts design of the earlier structures. Although designed as a two-story building, only the first floor of the New Immigration Building was constructed; adequate structural support was included to permit future erection of the second story with load bearing brick walls and a concrete roof. A covered passageway links the building to the 1934 Ferry Building, located to the east at the head of the ferry slip. Inside, the New Immigration Building contained public rooms in the central building mass and dormitory space in the flanking wings. The building was not used for its intended purpose and remained vacant for several years after completion. From 1939-1946, it was occupied by the U.S. Coast Guard, from 1946 to 1951 by the U.S. Public Health Service, and between 1951 and 1954 by the Coast Guard. The original interior plan was modified by limited room partitioning during the 1939-1954 period. In 1970 a portion of the building was used by the National Economic Growth and Reconstruction Organization, Inc. (NEGRO) as housing for organization members.
