The house at 2810 Hillsborough Road was the longtime residence of members of the Baucom family - Matthew T. Baucom, from sometime in 1925 or prior to ~1956, followed by Daniel Baucom in the late 1950s. As one of the only two-story houses on Hillsborough Road (a rarity in West Durham north of the railroad tracks,) it was converted to apartments by the 1970s. It remained apartments until the mid-1980s, when it went up for sale.
