Immigration to Ellis Island

Immigrants come to America to seek freedom and opportunity. Most of them come from ships. Immigration review and vaccination are required.

Many buildings make up the Immigration Bureau, and the main tower's four towers are over 140 feet in the air. Building of Ellis Island. At the time of the fire there were over 200 people on the island, but no one was killed. The fire caused a loss of $ 600,000. Congress immediately spent money to regain service of the island.

This refurbishment work also includes refractory buildings to avoid such disasters (Queensbury 2)
