Notes
  • Significance: Dating to 1900, the Hospital Outbuilding is one of the oldest extant buildings at Ellis Island. It was one of the first three buildings erected on Island 2 following the 1897 fire. The 1½-story Hospital Outbuilding features modest elements of the Georgian Revival style, the mode selected for all buildings on Island 2. The Hospital Outbuilding’s relatively modest scale suggests its ancillary use. Despite its size, the building is graced with the massing, hipped roof form, and brick construction with stone detailing that define the primary buildings within the Island 2 hospital complex. These design elements integrate the Hospital Outbuilding with the cohesive form of the larger hospital complex. The building originally incorporated a linen room, a laundry, a boiler room, a disinfecting department, a morgue, an autopsy room and second floor living quarters. Numerous alterations reflect continuous adaptation to meet new needs as the hospital complex evolved. After construction of the contagious disease hospital on Island 3, which included more than a dozen new buildings such as a power plant, mortuary and laundry, it is thought that the Hospital Outbuilding continued to serve the main hospital complex on Island 2 in its original capacities. Repairs and alterations made to the Hospital Outbuilding include repairs done in 1911 and 1916 following explosions on nearby New Jersey wharves, and in 1921 after a fire destroyed much of the building. Other changes were made over time including interior wall removal, and the 1937 construction of the west elevation linen exchange addition.
