Ellis Island is a national landmark and an irreplaceable American icon. Beginning in 1892, the island served as a gateway into the United States for 12 million people from all over the world. Today nearly 40% of all Americans can trace their roots to Ellis Island. In 1965, Ellis Island was added to the National Park System as part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument.
Ellis Island, also known as "The Forgotten Side," consists of 30 hauntingly beautiful buildings on the south side of the island that have been vacant, shuttered and unseen by the public for over half a century. Now there is a new movement to restore and re-open these buildings.

Fantastic story! I didn't know that it was in such bad shape. BUT you have a little flaw in your POD, you misspelled something Daveena. Go back and closely review it and correct the error (do the research & find it)
