The Freeze Building, at 18 W. Concho Ave. in San Angelo, Texas, was built in 1887. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

It is a two-story two-part commercial block building, constructed of local sandstone. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop. It was built for Peter K. Freeze, a Danish blacksmith.[1]

Freeze had 8 employees by 1888. He started a three-story expansion later, but that was not completed.[1]
