Of the many buildings that were built according to his plans or under his direction, the gym of the Oldenburger Turnerbund on Haarenufer (1890), the Elisabeth-Anna-Palais on Schlosswall (1894-1896), are special achievements based on his own designs in Oldenburg , The ballroom extension at the castle (1894–1899) on the site of the Danish chancellery wing, which was demolished in 1894, and the church in Oldenburg- Ohmstede (1901) should be mentioned. The ballroom building , which skilfully ties in with the late Renaissance forms of the Anton Günther building , is considered Freese's most convincing architectural creation.

As head of the building authority, Freese had a decisive influence on the construction of the settlements for the regional cultural fund for the colonization of the wasteland, on the school building in the country and on the new buildings of the sanatorium and nursing home in Bad Zwischenahn . It is also thanks to his commitment that the state parliament building (1914–1916) and the government building (1914–1918) were built on the Dobben area according to plans by Paul Bonatz .
