The Fairview School Building is a historic school building in rural Marion County, Arkansas. It is located on the north side of County Road 8064, just west of its junction with Arkansas Highway 178 and the Fairview fire department. It is a single-story stone structure with a gabled tin roof whose eaves have exposed rafter tails in the Craftsman style. Its walls are of both cut and uncut fieldstone, and the foundation is also stone. The main (south-facing) facade is symmetrical, with sash windows flanking a raised double door. The school was built in 1927 by local volunteer labor, despite a downturn in the area's population and economy.
