Established in the 1790s, it is one of the oldest surviving farmsteads in the Otter Creek valley south of Wallingford village.

[1] The Fox–Cook Farm stands at the end of Cook Drive, a spur road on the west side of United States Route 7 in southern Wallingford.

The house is a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and rubblestone foundation.

Its entrance is framed by sidelight windows, and sheltered by a flat-roof porch with turned posts.

Fox's heirs sold the farm in the 1820s, now with a house standing on the property, to Lincoln Andrews.
