Flora and Roland Rosson lived in an adobe house in Phoenix before building the Queen Anne and Eastlake style home that stands today, finished in 1894 and 1895. The Rossons did not stay long. Whitelaw Reid and his family spent the fall and winter months there from 1895 to 1897, and the Rossons then sold the house to Aaron and Carrie Goldberg. It is now the centerpiece of Heritage Square and open as a museum.
