In 1948, the Anderson family donated the carriage house and his collection of vehicles and the surrounding land to the town of Brookline Now only part of the original vehicle group remain, but their display is completed by exhibitions.

Pietsch donated some notebooks and drawings by his father at the Wolfsonian Museum at Florida International University and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
