Ellis Island

-Photography showing the difference in architecture from within walking 2m in one building. Walking through the main hall past the arch windows, you immediately enter the 'medical wing' where thousands of tests were undertaken on both future residents of New York and the 'aliens' that did not meet the criteria. This area also includes a section where those who were deemed mentally ill were kept. 
- Walking through the medial wing feels very eerie thanks to the tiling used from floor to ceiling and the tunnelled corridors that seem everlasting. I think this would be a great setting for a horror movie!!
