A. C. Freeman House, Queen Anne style house in Punta Gorda, United States.
The A.C. Freeman House exhibits decorative elements with asymmetrical facades, elaborate gables, and spacious verandas at 311 West Retta Esplanade.
Built in 1903 by businessman Augustus Freeman, the house changed locations twice, first in 1985 and again after Hurricane Charley in 2005.
The house represents early 20th-century architectural preferences in South Florida, where Queen Anne style buildings remain scarce among residential structures.
The Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce currently operates from this building, making it a center for local business and community activities.
Local misconceptions attribute ownership to Albert Gilchrist, who later became Florida's governor, though he only sold the land to Freeman.
