Joseph Grayson "Joe" Long was a native of Greene County, Pennsylvania. He and his brother Jesse relocated to Jasper County, Iowa where they each bought extensive land holdings and farmed. Joe had married Mary Bussey in Pennsylvania, but she died before he relocated to Iowa. He married Regina Hiskey, a native of Richland County, Ohio. They had two sons.

Their son Charles owned the farm from 1902 to 1934. This Italianate style house was originally built just outside of the city limits of Monroe, Iowa.
