Fox Court is located at 1472-1478 University Ave. and was constructed between 1927 and 1930. There are two complexes of romantic storybook cottages on University Avenue designed by Carl Fox and constructed by the Fox Bros. Construction Company.

Fox Court and Fox Common are Romantic Tudor Revival in style, picturesque and rustic in appearance. Their exterior siding consists of various colors, textures and sizes of brick irregularly laid and interspersed with rough stones. The style is referred to by many names: Mother Goose, Hansel and Gretel, Fairy Tale, Doll House or Storybook, but it’s no more than a variation on the Tudor Revival style popular in the 1920s and ’30s.
