W. B. Fox's Villa

Fox's Villa is a historic farmhouse built in 1867 in Clifton Hill, Victoria, Australia.

Fox's Villa is included in the statement of significance for the Clifton Hill West Precinct area in the Victorian Heritage Database.

The residents of Clifton Hill and North Fitzroy banded together to defend the historic property at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

A caravan was hired, a brazier donated, and tarpaulins were hoisted for protection from the severity of sun and storms.

[citation needed] The picket is included in the statement of significance for the Clifton Hill West Precinct to demonstrate the history of community involvement engaged in "articulating public interest priorities".

"The House of the Gentle Bunyip, constructed in three phases by two families between 1867 and the 1920s was the subject of controversy in the late 1990s when the local community successfully saved the building from demolition, after staging a picket lasting over 400 days.
