It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]

In 2023, following the severe hail storm that damaged the copper dome, restoration efforts were initialized.

But the date was delayed further into late 2025 because simply the time required for insurance claims progress and funding caused the progress to delay.

The repairs were completed in October 2025.
