In 1919 the house was donated to [[Historic New England]] (then the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities) by Preserved Whipple Arnold. It has since undergone two phases of restoration. In 1920 the first stabilization efforts were led by [[Norman Isham]]; and in 1950 the house and chimney received a thorough structural rehabilitation. In this second restoration, later alterations were removed to return the building to its 17th-century appearance.
The house was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1968, and was declared a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1974 for its architectural significance.<ref name="nhlsum"/><ref name="nrhpinv2">{{Cite journal|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Eleazor Arnold House|url={{NHLS url|id=68000006}} |format=pdf|date=January 22, 1975 |author=Patricia Heintzelman and Charles Snell|publisher=National Park Service}} and {{NHLS url|id=68000006|title=''Accompanying photos, exterior, from 1967 and 1974''|photos=y}} {{small|(32 KB)}}</ref> In 2005 a [[dendrochronology]] survey of the tree rings confirmed the 1693 construction date.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Oxford Tree-Ring Laboratory - Eleazer Arnold House - Rhode Island|url=https://www.dendrochronology.com/eal.html|access-date=2021-10-24|website=www.dendrochronology.com}}</ref>
Today the building closely resembles its form during the early settlement in Rhode Island, though some details, including the leaded glass windows and the front door and its surround, are 20th-century replacements.
