The Mason Brown House, in Owen County, Kentucky, United States, was built in 1856. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]

It is located in a remote river bottom, 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of the end of Brown's Bottom Road, within a loop of the Kentucky River.[2]

It is a 46 by 32 feet (14.0 m × 9.8 m) plan two-and-a-half-story balloon frame house. It has "deeply scrolled" bargeboards which were cut from large planks of yellow poplar.[2]
