  ## History and description
  
  In 1739, Jacob Fries gave land for the Emanuel Lutheran Church, helping to establish the community now known as Friesburg. In 1808, his son, Philip Fries, built this two and one-half story brick house with Federal architecture across the street from the church. The interior features eight fireplaces with detailed woodwork. The house was restored in the 1960s by architects G. Edwin Brumbaugh and Albert F. Ruthrauff.
