Frederick was the regional sales manager for Schlitz beer. They owned the house until 1981.

A Builder’s 1898 Queen Anne Mansion in Winston-Salem, $1.09 Million

The Christian and Emma Fogle House
- $1.09 million

- Built in 1898
- Listed May 1, 2026

- Listing: “The home was the center of the original family farm with four additional buildings on the property; the one and a half story barn is the only barn still existing in the Washington Park Historic District.
The house was built by Christian Fogle (1846-1898), co-founder of Fogle Brothers, the cities’ major lumber and building firm for 60 years. Sadly, he died before the house was completed. Christian’s early death at age 51 was not unusual in the family. His two brothers, both younger, also died young — Charles at age 42 and John at 55 (their half-brother Ernest lived to be 65. Ernest was 41 years younger than Christian and four years younger than Christian’s son, Frederick). Frederick died at age 56; his sister Agnes lived to be only 29.
District NR nomination: “On large tree-shaded hilltop; large frame Queen Anne style house with classical details and decorative use of shingles between levels; early version of German-type siding. Hipped roof is a pre-World War II replacement of the original, more complex Queen Anne roof with turrets etc.”

Greensboro: An Architectural Record: “The cleanly articulated Mediterranean Revival-style villa, designed by Raleigh James Hughes, was erected for Dr. Jarboe in the mid-teens. Its elegant entry is marked by a round-arched door and transom and an Ionic portico topped by a Chinese Chippendale balustrade. Round arches and Ionic columns are repeated at its flanking first-story bays and latticed end pavilions. Its second story features shutters with fleur-de-lis cutouts, its roof curvilinear exposed brackets.”
