Info Many early 20th century immigrants to the US came through Ellis Island. Those who were sick (or suspected to be sick) were confined to the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital. It closed in 1930, but still stands today, unused. A few years ago, the artist JR installed old pictures of former patients around the hospital grounds, in what I think is an interesting (and effective) way to experience site's history. This one in particular is on the exterior of an inaccessible building, with a caged porch. I found it quite striking, but also quite difficult to photograph (perhaps why, if you search for this installation, it's hard to find images of this one). It's possible to get closer, to see more through the doorway of the porch, but it seems like the image is meant to be viewed through the cage (it was not a particularly happy place). I'm happy with the final result, but we will see what others think. PS: if this sounds familiar, it's because I previously nominated another image from this place. created/uploaded/nominated by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 22:20, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support I assume you've done your due diligence regarding copyright, as in the last nomination? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:46, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Same set of photos as the other one, so same considerations would apply. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 04:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
