Ellis Island fire of 1897.  

Did You Know?
When Ellis Island was opened in 1892, the facility bore little resemblance to the French Renaissance structure that people have come to know today. Made out of Georgia pine, the complex caught fire in 1897 and burned to the ground. The current building was opened on December 17, 1900.
