Old Mansion, also known as Bowling Green, is a historic home located in Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia. The house was built around 1670. The original front section is a 1 1/2-story, brick structure with a jerkin-head roof and dormers. A rear frame addition with a gambrel roof was added in the 18th century.[3] The building is a private residence and was recently sold.[4]
