This impressive two-story Queen Anne residence was built for cotton factor and grocer Joseph Friedler and his wife, Ophelia. A two-story gallery with bracketed turned posts, spindle frieze, and turned-baluster railing fronts the pedimented, gable-end facade, which is enlivened with fish scale shingles and a Palladian window. The first-story gallery wraps around an octagonal corner tower with three stages of octagonal roofs interrupted by a band of intermediate lunettes. The house retains its original porte-cochere and carriage house. The interior includes original light fixtures, bathrooms, and Lincrusta wall finishes. Bost’s wife, Annie, served as his draftsman and photographer. Bost came to Natchez in 1890 with M. T. Lewman and Company to build the Natchez Hotel (burned 1925) and remained to become the city’s most prolific builder from 1890 to 1940.
