22 Church Street (1755) is a very significant mid-18th century house, the largest built in Weston up to that time. Along with the 1758 Josiah Smith Tavern and the 1765-68 Golden Ball Tavern (built by Elisha's cousin, Isaac), it represents the high point of Weston's 18th century architectural heritage. Architectural historian and early house specialist Abbott Lowell Cummings, who visited the house in 1974, called it "exceptional for its period" and noted that Elisha Jones was not content with a local builder and wanted something special.

22 Church Street (1754-55) was built by Elisha Jones (1710 – 1775), a wealthy and prominent member of one of Weston's original families. It is historically significant because of its associations with Jones and later with other noted Weston residents including Col. Thomas Marshall, Gen. Charles J. Paine, and Charles H. Fiske. Architecturally, the house is important as the earliest remaining "four over four" house in Weston and as an exceptionally fine, well-documented example of early Georgian colonial architecture. Construction dates are documented in Elisha Jones's diary, which records the housewright as Jeduthan Baldwin. Also notable is the fact that the house was moved twice to its present site on Church Street just outside the town center.
