Ellis Island closed for Immigration functions on 29 November, 1954, however, its use had declined substantially for decades before that. After WWI it was usedmore as a detention center than an inspection center, as Visas were required after wWI and Visas were obtained at the point of origin so most arrivals did not require a substantial inspection.
