Frederick County Poor Farm, also known as the Frederick County Poorhouse, is a historic poor farm complex located in Round Hill, Frederick County, Virginia. The main building, erected in 1820, is a Federal-style building that consists of a two-story brick main block and original lateral one-story brick wings with gable roofs. A nearly identical building is at the Shenandoah County Farm. Also on the property are a contributing brick spring house, secondary dwelling, blacksmith shop, storage building, poultry house, and board-and-batten outbuilding. The Frederick County Poor Farm remained open until 1947.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
