Fair Mount is a well preserved, two-story, stuccoed stone dwelling located in the City of Winchester. The house currently sits on a 2.3-acre tract that is well landscaped and includes a garage. Historical and architectural evidence suggests that the house was constructed for Joseph Tidball, a local merchant, by local builder Lewis Barnett. Fair Mount has a four-room plan with a front hall and exhibits elements of the Late Georgian style. In 1929, the house was remodeled in the Colonial Revival style.
