The Ellis Island Immigration Museum is one of the most important in the city of New York and it´s a place that had to be closed for years because, after its opening in 1892, it caught fire and, because of its wooden structure, it ended up falling down, although it opened its doors again in 1900.
Thanks to its interesting construction, the architects that were in charge of the projects, Edward Lippincott Tilton and William Alciphron Boring, received a golden medal. But the place was never given much importance until 1965, when Ellis Island was proclaimed part of the monument of the Statue of Liberty. Then, it all changed.
After a restoration that cost millions of dollars by the Finegold Alexander & Associates Inc. Company, the museum opened its doors again in 1990, offering an important series of exhibitions, as well as three theatres used for live presentations and cinematographic shows.
One of the most important places in the museum is the “Wall of Honor” on the outskirts, which possesses some of the names of the first immigrants that came to the island.
