The Heston house was built around 1792. The exact year is not known since Heston bought a lot of land around this time and there were no official records kept. The house was built by Colonel Heston himself. The location was decided since it was right across from the glassworks. The house was considered a mansion compared to the other smaller houses in Glassboro at the time. The house has had many owners after Heston’s death. The house was given to his wife, Hannah at the time of his death. Once Hannah died, the house was given to Bathsheba and her family.

After Bathsheba, the house was owned by Isaac Moffitt, Jr. He did the first of the renovations on the house. Once the renovations were complete, a fire broke out inside the house. The fire was quickly put out before a large amount of damage could take place. However, the house now had to undergo more renovations to fix the damage from the fire. The next owner of the house was Charles F. Repp, who did more renovations on the house. The house was then sold to Edward L. Sturgess, who did even more renovations. After he passed away, the house went to his son, Russell. Once Russell passed away his wife K.M. Sturgess owned the house in the 1980s. The records stopped after this owner. Today the house is owned by a Rowan fraternity.
