Our History
According to records kept by the Historical Society of Ocala, the house was built in 1885 by Louis Fox. He was a prominent Jewish businessmen and the treasurer of Ocala building and loan company.
The Fox family was part of the team that formed the Silver Springs, Ocala, and Gulf Railroad and was instrumental in establishing the first synagogue in Ocala.
The house was later sold to Charles Grey, the rector for Grace Church. After changing a few more hands it was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Miller who converted it into Peter Dinkles, a happening restaurant from 1977-1994.
By 1994 the house was spared a wrecking ball and converted into offices. The house remained a center for business since then.
Although this house has seen much history, many remodels and even a fire, it still features the original 6 fireplaces made by C. B. Atkins Co.
Our Future
In 2022 the house was purchased by the Auciello family in hopes to revive a piece of history, provide a setting to inspire entrepreneurs to flourish and add their mark on the story of this amazing house.
