"La Nacional," a nondescript New York City building, welcomed thousands of Spanish immigrants to the United States over 150 years. The building's story is a tale of the ebb and tide of Spanish immigration, the rise and fall of New York City as the American Dream, and hundreds of lives touched by the possibility of a new life. Founded in 1868, "La Nacional" still stands, the last remaining survivor of the vanished Little Spain neighborhood.
