Furlong House was designed by architect Frank Tyler and built in 1910 by Hugh M. and Margaret Cowper. In 1921 the home was purchased by Thomas J. Furlong, the City Clerk and Treasurer of the City of Vernon. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merits, but its most interesting aspect is its service for almost forty years as the home of an important part of the Furlong family, who were instrumental in creating the City of Vernon, once Los Angeles's principal industrial suburbs, and who guided its affairs from 1905 until 1974.

The home was purchased in 1958 by the Cercle Catholique Francais, providing aid to recently-arrived French immigrants until 1964, when it was sold to Ernest Johnson, a clerk on the Southern Pacific Railroad, from whom the present owners bought the house in March 1988. The house remains much as it was in the days when Thomas and Robert Furlong lived there. Many of the original light fixtures from 1910 are still in service. The house was fully restored by the current owners in 1999.

The Furlong House is described as Tudor-Craftsman in style. It is located at 2657 S. Van Buren Place in the historic West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles. Declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2000 (No. 678).

Real estate developer Percy H. Clark built six of the homes on the 2600 block of Van Buren Place between 1903 and 1916, ranging in style from Craftsman, Shingle-Craftsman and Tudor-Craftsman. The block is on the National Register of Historic Places.
