Excerpt from Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty National Monument, Vol. 4: Historic Structures Report, Units 2, 3, and 4; Part One This historic structures report was prepared for the buildings in Units 2, 3 and 4 at Ellis Island. It documents the historic development and present condition of buildings on the south half of the Island including the ferry house, hospital outbuilding, psychopathic ward, nmfixx hospital building, administration building and new hospital extension of Unit 2; the office building, mortuary, powerhouse and laundry building, eight measles ward buildings, administration building, kitchen, three isolation ward buildings and staff house of Unit 3; and the immigrant building, recreation building and shelter of Unit 4, as well as the ferry and removed structures, the surgeon's house and red cross building. The buildings of Unit 1 have been documented in separate historic structure reports. The twenty-six extant buildings, as well as the connecting ways and corridors located within Units 2, 3 and 4, form an interconnected grouping. Built as hospital immigration station and support buildings, they formed, with the Unit 1 buildings, an integrated complex of structures and were functionally interdependent.
