Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
The Main Building, still considered one of the few grand-scale brick buildings in New York, was composed of red brick with ironwork and limestone trim, and concrete floors. Notable for its four cupola-style towers and the large, light and airy second-floor Registry Room, the Main Building was 338 feet long and 168 feet wide. A dramatic vaulted ceiling was installed in 1918 and carefully tiled by a family who were, themselves, -immigrants from Spain.
