Landmarks
The Statue of Liberty was designed by French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi and completed in July 1884. The statue commemorates the alliance between the United States and France during the American Revolution from 1775 to 1783, and was funded through the donations of the French people. On the 4th of July, in 1884, the 225-ton Statue of Liberty was delivered to the American Ambassador in Paris. When the Statue of Liberty was finally ready to be shipped to the United States, problems across the Atlantic emerged because it was so massive. On June 17, 1886, the statue arrived in New York Harbor, and was officially installed on a massive monument. The Statue of Liberty was declared a national monument in 1924. The complete Statue of Liberty national monument also includes Ellis Island, and both Liberty Island and Ellis Island lie in Upper New York Bay. The reason why this statue is so significant to America is because it symbolizes freedom from Britain during the revolution. The building of the Empire State building was from 1929 to 1931(during the great depression). Walter Chrysler (Chrysler Corp.) and John Jacob Raskab (GM Corp.) were both competing for the rights to
the tallest building in the world. The Empire State building was the tallest standing building for over 40 years (1931 to 1971). The 102-foot skyscraper cost 40,000,000 dollars to build and provided 7 million hours of work. 3,500 men would work per day and amazingly only seven people were killed over the construction. During the depression the Empire State building gave a new hope to New York. The final product symbolizes how America tried to get out of the depression by making New York special. From 1892 to 1954, over twelve million immigrants entered the United States through the portal of Ellis Island, a small island in New York Harbor. Before being designated as the site of one of the first Federal immigration station by President Benjamin Harrison in 1890, Ellis Island had a varied history. On December 17, 1900, the new Main Building was opened and 2,251 immigrants were received that day. In 1907, more people immigrated to the United States than any other year; 1.25 million immigrants were processed at Ellis Island in that one-year. From the very beginning of the mass migration that spanned the years (roughly) 1880 to 1924, an increasingly mad group of politicians demanded restrictions on immigration in 1965; President Lyndon Johnson declared Ellis Island part of the Statue of Libert
