S.R. 526, Oakland vicinity. The significance of the Fairview Methodist Church lies in its fine state of preservation and in its strength of design, perhaps the best in the county's late nineteenth century frame churches. It is traditional in form and representative of vernacular wooden church architecture. Because of its siteing on a flat, intensively cultivated plain, it is a visual focus on the landscape for miles around. (National Register)
