Fox House, originally known as the Classical and Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South Carolina and Adjacent States, is a historic home located at Lexington, Lexington County, South Carolina. It was built about 1830, and is a two-story frame dwelling with an 11-foot deep porch across the front façade. The house is attached by breezeways to two dependencies, a kitchen and a housekeepers quarters. It was built for and housed the newly founded Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, which started in 1830. This house was originally built as a faculty dormitory and classroom space. It was later owned by John Fox; county sheriff, clerk of court, and state senator.[2][3]
