John P. Furber House
7310 Lamar Ave. (Old Cottage Grove)
This graceful Italian Villa style residence dates from the mid-1850’s and was the home of John
P. Furber, one of Cottage Grove’s founding fathers and the proprietor of the village mercantile. It is believed to
be the oldest building still standing in Old Cottage Grove and its design reflects the influence of the
Victorian cottage mode. Jacob Vandenberg built the 130-ft. long arch-roofed dairy barn on the property
in 1947.
