The home closed in 1935 but reopened as an orphanage named the Berachah Child Institute, which existed from 1936 to 1942. The University of Texas at Arlington purchased the property in 1963. On March 7, 1981, a Texas Historical Marker was installed and dedicated at the graveyard that served the Berachah Home. (en)
