Gordon Hall, or the Dexter House, as it is sometimes called, is still a prominent landmark in Dexter. It was named a Michigan State Historic Site in 1958 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is nearly certain that Gordon Hall was a stop on the Underground Railroad. In 1950 the house was sold to the University of Michigan, then in 2006 to the Dexter Historical Society and Museum.
