In 1938, Louis H. Freedman, a geologist and engineer, purchased a Riverview Estates lot overlooking the West Fork of the Trinity River. Contractor Tom Hill built the Period Revival residence for the Freedmans, which was completed in 1940. The house has been attributed to architect Charles O. Chromaster. Clinker brick set in wavy surface patterns enlivens the facade. The cross-gabled, two-story house features a large projecting gabled bay containing a massive stepped chimney.
