Built in 1892, this two story brick farmhouse was one of four brick houses built within the original Medford town plat prior to 1900; it is the only one of the four that remains. It was built for Andrew J. Fredenburg, a pioneer who crossed the Oregon Trail in 1864 and eventually settled in Medford with his wife Susannah and their eight grown children in 1884; they were among the city's first residents. Fredenburg lived at the house from 1892 until his death in 1911. His descendants held the property until 1921. Today the house has been adapted for use as professional office space.
