Fair Oaks

Loudoun County · dedicated 2014 · Route 631, about a mile south of US 50

Fair Oaks, built ca. 1881 as the home of Alexander Moore, is a vernacular interpretation of the Italianate architectural style. From 1835 to 1971, six generations of the Moore family owned and operated nearby Aldie Mill, constructed by legislator and reformer Charles Fenton Mercer between 1807 and 1809. The mill created substantial wealth for the Moores even in the difficult post–Civil War years. Fair Oaks, with its intact complex of agricultural outbuildings, is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
