It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1] At the time, it was classified within the Episcopal Church as a "Chapel at Ease," meaning it did not host regular services (those had ceased in the 1930s) but hosted two semi-annual services, one in June and the other in September, staffed by clergy from the Episcopal Churches in surrounding communities. It was officially deconsecrated after the June 2018 service and turned over to a community foundation, which will operate the building as the multi-purpose Belvidere Cornerstone.[3]
