Historic recognition

The Arcade was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1976, and is assigned National Register of Historic Places NRIS Number: 71000029. It was also included in the Historic American Buildings Survey, the documents of which are located in the Library of Congress. Luckily, the Arcade's records are among those to have been digitised, with two black and white photographs from 1958 (below, but can be seen at higher resolution by following the link above), and 5 data pages on the building's history compiled in 1962.
