Dating from 1879, this Italianate-style dwelling was built on a lot acquired as a trust for Harry S. Fox, still a youth at the time. Late in that year his trustee, Morris J. Fox, had this house added to the property at a cost of some $1800. Painted today in a tri-color Victorian scheme of buff with umber-colored trim and deep terracotta sash and doors, the house at 900 Green Street is rated NOTABLE in the city’s 1971 Architectural Inventory. It is just one rehabilitation project of the Danville Historical Society, which since 1980 has administered a Revolving Fund to purchase deteriorating but basically sound houses to refurbish and sell as homes for individuals and families who love old properties and appreciate their significance to our city. 

For the 1988 Tour several rooms of this house are decorated with period furniture and accessories courtesy of Judy Adkins Antiques and John’s Antiques.
