A commemorative bronze plaque was placed inside the building in 1964 by the Native New Yorkers Historical Society and New York Life Insurance. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 12, 1965. The residence has undergone many changes. Today, the building houses a Mediterranean grocery store on the first two floors and apartments on the top three. It is the only surviving building in New York City where a president was inaugurated. Arthur was born in rural upper Vermont near the town of Fairfield. A small two-story yellow house and a marker indicate the probable place of his birth there in 1796.
