The Fair View School is a historic school building at 2367 Mill Creek Road in Pope County, Arkansas, 4.5 miles northwest of Russellville, Arkansas. It is a single-story T-shaped fieldstone structure, with a gabled roof and concrete foundation. The eaves of the roof have exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style. The projecting cross-gable section, which forms the short leg of the T, houses the main entrance in a round-arch recess. The school was built in 1938 with funding support from the Works Progress Administration, and was used as a school until 1960. It was also an important community resource, playing host to social events and community meetings.[2]
