Fox Hall is a historic house at 5183 County Highway M in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. The stone farmhouse was built circa 1856 by the Fox family, who settled in Fitchburg in 1843 and had previously lived in a log cabin. The house's design includes elements of the Greek Revival and Italianate styles, representing the transitional period between the popularity of the two styles. The house has a symmetrical layout with a front and back porch, sash windows with stone lintels, bracketed eaves, and a gable roof with two stone chimneys. The interior is original and has extensive ornamental woodwork, including a carved walnut banister on the main staircase.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1983.[1]
