The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 1990, recognizing its historic significance. In 2010 the Florida Department of Transportation completed a $380,000 restoration that replaced the roof, upgraded the lobby and restrooms, repaired the exterior walls and installed new air‑conditioning units.
