A quarter-sawn, white oak chest of 12 drawers holds clothing. Brass clothing rods with hangers are installed in a craftsman-inspired, open configuration, allowing over 50 articles of clothing to be hung.
Living Room
A thermostat-controlled furnace and central air conditioning services the entire house. A woodstove with a glass door can also easily heat the entire house in the coldest winter conditions. A leather couch has 3 reclining seats. A large television screen is hidden in the ceiling and is easily deployed, with the push of a button.

Patio

A five foot high fenced yard is available for your pets. Natural seasonal decorations compliment the space. 24/7 maintenance services are available.
History
"The Fox House" was built in 1912 from remnants of rock used to build the historic Mormon Temple, in downtown Salt Lake City. The structure was originally built simply as a place to pelt fox and mink. The farm operated from 1912 to 1970. A Nazi sympathizer used the home’s iconic cupola to spy and report on copper mine activity during the second World War. The original rock shell was completely remodeled for use as a home in the early 1970s. One family of eleven children was raised in the home from 1973 to 1993.
A second complete remodel and refurnishing of the home, and re-landscaping of the property, began in 2018 and continues to this day. The effort endeavors to create a Craftsman-styled home, reminiscent of the American Arts & Crafts (1890-1920) movement that peaked around 1912. The roof material is a combination of hand-split cedar shakes and solid copper panels.
