Fruit Hill, also known as the Robinson-Andrews-Hoxton House is a Greek Revival house near Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The original two-story stone house on the property was probably built by Henry Cookus "circa" 1766. This house was built over a watercourse, assuring a reliable supply of water on what was then the frontier. The main Greek Revival house was built in the 1830's by Archibald Robinson, and the house remains in the hands of the family. The interior of the house includes a three-story open staircase. citation|title=PDFlink| [http://www.wvculture.org/shpo/nr/pdf/jefferson/88001588.pdf National Register of Historic Places Nomination: Gibson-Todd House] |422 KB|date=April 30, 1998 |author=Lynne Kerwin Byron|publisher=National Park Service]
