The Cause

Sometimes called Ellis Island's "forgotten side," nearly 30 hauntingly beautiful buildings on the Island's South Side have been vacant, shuttered, and unseen by the public for well over a half a century. These are the former buildings where immigrants in need of medical attention received care. The buildings are in dire need of repair and your help. Save Ellis Island, Inc. has joined the National Park Service to raise funds to rescue and reuse these buildings.
