Augustus C. Freeman was a city tax collector, councilman, mayor, sheriff and county commissioner. He built this two story Victorian house on Marion Avenue near the present Charlotte Regional Medical Center.
The home has a spacious wrap around porch featuring Queen Anne trim, a veranda and a third story tower. When it was slated for demolition in 1985, the Medical Center Foundation coordinated a community effort to relocate and restore it.

The house is open to the public Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm. Guided tours are offered Monday and Thursday only from 11am-3pm. You can also rent the house for functions.
