Mount Fair is a historic home and farm complex located in Albemarle County, Virginia. The main house was built about 1848, and is a 2 1/2-story, five bay, frame building with Greek Revival style details. It has a hipped roof with "widow's walk" and a one-story, one bay porch with a flat roof supported by Doric order columns. Also on the property are a contributing detached kitchen, a greenhouse, and two contributing structures, an icehouse and a spring house. The tract also has three contributing sites: the ruins of slave quarters, a slave cemetery, and a family cemetery.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
