Notes |
The Staff House and the Contagious Disease Hospital were designed by James Knox Taylor, the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. The Office of the Supervising Architect was responsible for the design of federal facilities, in this case working for the Department of Commerce and Labor in consultation with the USPHS surgeons assigned to Ellis Island. The Contagious Disease Hospital was a mature example of a pavilion plan hospital, a form favored since its establishment in Europe during the nineteenth century and in the United States largely since after the Civil War. The Staff House exterior was executed in the same Georgian Revival mode as the rest of the Island 3 hospital, with red tile roof, pebble and dash stucco wall treatment, and red brick quoins and details. This decorative treatment complemented the Georgian Revival monumentality of the Island 2 general hospital while the detailing and lower scale of the new hospital made it visually distinct. Originally the Staff House was free-standing, enhancing its appearance as a central-hall domestic structure within the sprawling pavilion hospital complex of attached buildings. Shortly after completion, the covered passageway for the hospital was extended to the Staff House at its west portico entrance. The Staff House was designed with communal spaces on the first floor and bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor for USPHS assistant surgeons with families. Georgian Revival decorative details inside include fireplaces with ornamental mantels, chair rails, and picture molding. The high level of interior ornamentation and finish reflected the status of the USPHS professionals housed here. The USPHS vacated the hospital facilities on March 1, 1951 and the U.S. Coast Guard Port Security Unit at Ellis Island expanded to use portions of the Island 3 hospital for file storage. The Ellis Island U. S. Immigration Station ceased operation on November 12, 1954 and the complex was largely unoccupied until it was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965, under the administration of the U. S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service.
