It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/76000341.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Redstone Test Stand / Interim Test Stand] |461 KB|date=May 15, 1984 |first=Harry A. |last=Butowsky |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/76000341.pdf Accompanying 7 photos, from 1960, 1961, 1984 and undated.] |1.57 MB]
