The original Ellis Island Immigration Station opened on New Year's Day 1892. It burned to the ground just 5 years later, on June 15, 1897.

Construction of the present-day Ellis Island Immigration Station (which is now the Ellis Island Immigration Museum) started almost immediately after the original one burned down.

Edward Lippincott Tilton and William A. Boring won the design competition in 1897, and by 1900, the Main Building was completed. The Main Powerhouse, Hospital Building and Kitchen and Laundry Buildings were all completed in 1901.

Part of the Ellis Island experience was the steps, a physical examination (that lasted an average of six seconds), and the ability to answer 29 questions.

The Steps: After claiming their baggage on the ground floor of Ellis Island, potential immigrants had to carry their bags up the "great staircase" to the second floor, where the medical exams were performed. This was done intentionally -- anyone who appeared to have trouble climbing the steps drew the attention of the doctors.

The exam: On average, the medical exam took six seconds, with several doctors participating. Those who had difficulty with the steps drew extra attention. If the doctors determined that the immigrant had a physical problem, a symbol was drawn on their clothes with chalk. (see the link for the symbols)

The questions: Potential immigrants then had to answer 29 questions before being allowed into the United States. The questions all pertained to their "value" as a potential citizen.

What's your name?

What's your occupation?

Where is your final destination?

Do you know anyone there?

How much money do you have with you?

If everything went right and our incoming immigrant had no difficulties with the physical exam or the questions, he/she would be on Ellis Island for three to five hours.
