Ellis Island, South Side
Here are some photos of the restricted south end of Ellis Island taken during the Open House New York weekend in 2007.
The south end holds the remains of an entire hospital ward and staff houses, totaling 29 buildings in all. The area, abandoned in 1954, has been kept in a state of “controlled ruin.”
Renovation projects have begun on some of the buildings in the last few years. It is not sure yet what most of these buildings will be used for when renovated, and it will certainly take a very long time, but there have been talks of creating lodging of some sort.
