It is named after the American author John Fox Jr., who lived there from 1890 until 1919. The house is a significant landmark as it was the residence of the author during his most productive writing period.

Architecture of the John Fox Jr. House

The original section of the Fox home was built in 1890 as a four-room cottage. Over time, the house was expanded into a two-story, 20-room dwelling. This expansion reflects the growth and development of the author's life and career.
