Description Ellis Island- New Ferry Building built in1936 in thee Art deco era by Works Progress Administration to replace a ferry that had earlier been lost to fire. The high central pavilion topped with a copper-clad cupola stands between two single-story wings in a brick fireproof building at the foot of the ferry basin on what is called the "hyphen", which connected the two parts of the island.
