The J. C. Fox Building, located at 115 S. Main St. in Hailey, Idaho, is a historic building built in 1920. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[1]

The building was heated by water from Hailey Hot Springs piped about two miles. The building held a saloon and the First National Bank of Bailey; later it hosted a 10 room hospital on the second floor, so many Hailey residents were born above a saloon. Dr. J. C. Fox served the community as doctor for 41 years.[2]

The building is an example of Early Commercial style architecture. It was listed on the National Register in 1983.[1]
