The Registry Room, Ellis Island's Great Hall

Large room with terra cotta-colored tile floor, a balcony, large arched windows, and creamy white tiled vaulted ceiling.

Immigrants were examined by doctors and questioned by legal inspectors in this room a century ago when the National Park Service was just being established. Today, visitors to the site learn what happened here and think about their own family history in this impressive space.
