Hocking House is a historic home in Frostburg, Allegany County, Maryland, United States. It is a 2 1⁄2-story, three-bay, hip-roofed dwelling, built about 1855 in the transitional Greek Revival-Italianate architecture style. Local tradition suggests that it was one of three stations of the Underground Railroad in Frostburg. The land on which the home stands was part of the estate of Robert Clarke, Sr., one of the original settlers of the area that is now Frostburg. It was converted into a clubhouse in 1942.[2]
Hocking House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
