In recognition of his groundbreaking work, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902. In 1935, the Secunderabad Cantonment Board installed a marble plaque to honor his achievements. In 1955, Osmania University acquired the building and established the Malaria Research Institute within it.

To commemorate this occasion, the British High Commission renovated the building. As a heritage site, the Archaeological Survey of India has recognized the building. The state government plans to promote it as a destination for national and international tourists by renovating, conserving, and enhancing the building's heritage.
