Historic structure report - Ellis Island - Historical data - Statue of Liberty National Monument
Unrau HD. 1981. Historic structure report - Ellis Island - Historical data - Statue of Liberty National Monument. Historic Structure Report. Denver Service Center, National Park Service
This report has been prepared to satisfy in part the research needs for the restoration/preservation of the 33 extant buildings (totaling more than 500,000 square feet of floor space) on Ellis Island, a unit of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Although Ellis Island has been the subject of much research and writing, this is the first study to focus solely on the structural and architectural history of the U.S. Immigration Station. Hence the primary objectives of this report have been two-fold: (1) to provide basic historical documentation for the restoration/preservation of the structures; and (2) to provide preliminary data necessary for management to make informed decisions concerning historical significance, interpretation, and final treatment of the buildings.
