Located at the northern edge of the Bowling Green Historic District in Caroline County, Auburn is an excellent example of a mid-19th-century Greek Revival-style dwelling adapted to local vernacular tradition. It was built during Bowling Green’s establishment as a courthouse town, circa 1843, for clerk of court Robert Hudgin, providing him with a convenient location near the courthouse. Despite changing ownership many times during the late-19th- and early-20th-centuries, Auburn, located in the northernmost area of the town, retains its rural setting and its original two-story side-passage plan, including its character-defining Greek Revival porch. A rear ell addition was added in the late-19th-century and a sunroom in the 1930s. Today the Auburn property remains a private dwelling, and most rooms maintain their original function. There is one outbuilding, a circa-1940 shed located to the west of the house.
