Summary

Significance: The Main Hospital on Island 2 was built for the Department of Commerce and Labor's Immigration Bureau in consultation with the U.S. Marine Hospital and Public Health Service surgeons assigned to medical inspection at the Ellis Island U.S. Immigration Station. Although constructed in three phases between 1900 and 1909, the Main Hospital presents a coherent and monumental Georgian Revival ensemble with tall hipped roofs and three distinct block plan sections connected by hyphens containing stairways and passages. The sections include Hospital Building No. 1 (built as the New Hospital in 1900-1901), the Administration Building (built 1905-07), and Hospital Building No. 2 (built as the New Hospital Extension in 1908-09). A covered corridor at the west end of Hospital Building No. 1 connects the Main Hospital to the rest of the Ellis Island facilities.
