Announced along with the 17 stations of CCL Stages 4 and 5 in November 2005, it was designated as a station to be opened in the future. This station is currently non-operational due to the lack of development and demand in the area, although there are structural provisions set for the station’s future construction. Jalan Mashhor serves the station facilities on the ground level.

==History==
The station is named after the former [[Bukit Brown Cemetery]], which it is situated in. Named after George Henry Brown, the first owner of the land, the cemetery was used as a Chinese burial ground between 1922 and 1973. When Stages 4 and 5 of the Circle Line were announced in November 2005, Bukit Brown was one of the three 'shell' stations on the line{{efn|The other two stations were [[Caldecott MRT station|Thomson]] (now Caldecott) and [[Haw Par Villa MRT station|West Coast]] stations (now Haw Par Villa), which opened along with the CCL Stages 4 & 5}} set to be constructed in the future when there is sufficient demand in the area. Structural provisions were made during the construction of the CCL to facilitate the construction of the future station.<ref>{{cite web |title=Stages 4 &5 of Circle Line |url=http://www.lta.gov.sg/projects/proj_rail_ccl4n5.htm |website=www.lta.gov.sg |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111219045204/http://www.lta.gov.sg/projects/proj_rail_ccl4n5.htm |archive-date=19 December 2011 |date=16 November 2005 |url-status=dead |access-date=21 September 2020 }}</ref><ref name="auto">{{cite book|last1=Colin|first1=Cheong|title=The Circle Line, Linking All Lines|date=2012|isbn=978-981-4342-02-5|page=46}}</ref> The contract for the construction of rapid transit system facilities for Bukit Brown station was awarded to [[Taisei Corporation]] at a sum of {{SGDConvert|391.59|m|year=2004|showdate=no}}.{{efn|The contract includes the construction and completion of the Adam and Farrer Stations, including {{convert|6.3|km|miles|adj=on}} of twin bored tunnels, and rapid transit system facilities for Thomson station.}}<ref>{{cite web |title=Award Of Contract For Construction And Completion Of Adam And Farrer Stations |url=http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=1052 |website=www.lta.gov.sg |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120906042031/http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=1052 |archive-date=6 September 2012 |access-date=19 November 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref>
