For over 50 years, Celestine and Jesse Hebron operated one of the most successful printing businesses in the county from this handcrafted building. Jesse Hebron started his printing business on Falls Road in 1932. After serving in World War II, he moved the operation to the basement of the house. He built the house himself, casting the concrete block in molds onsite and tinting them a warm-yellow terracotta color. The subtle variations in the block reveal their handmade origins. The Hebrons were long-time members of the adjacent Jerusalem-Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church. Jesse served as treasurer for almost 52 years and Celestine was involved in many charitable activities and fundraising events. After they passed away in 1977, the church purchased the house.
