Fairview District Home is a historic almshouse located near Dublin, Pulaski County, Virginia. It was built in 1928, and is large, two-story, "T"-shaped brick Colonial Revival style building. The front facade features a projecting, three-bay, central pavilion with a large pedimented porch. Also on the property is a contributing two-story, brick garage.
