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.
