The Abraham J. Friedlander House is a historic residence in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Erected in 1830,[1] it features a facade three stories tall and three bays wide;[2] although brick is employed in some of the walls, both the foundation and the walls are predominantly sandstone.[3] At the time of its construction, the house was used as a multi-person home; its residents were multiple tradesmen in the house's early years.[2] Among its uses since that time has been that of a law office.[1]

Many elements of the house demonstrate a heavy Greek Revival influence; notable among them are the front entrance, which features a transom above the door and sidelights on either side. The overall theme of the house demonstrates that the architect,[2] whose name is unknown,[1] was influenced by leading period architect Minard Lafever, who wrote extensively on the various forms of Classical Revival architecture.[2]

In 1979, the Friedlander House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places,[1] due both to its well-preserved historic architecture and to its connection with Friedlander himself.[3] One year later, a short segment of Ninth Street was designated the Ninth Street Historic District and added to the National Register;[1] the Friedlander House was named one of the district's contributing properties.[4]
