Bain Park Cabin, envisioned by Fairview Village Mayor David R. Bain, is a community center originally completed in 1937 as a project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a Depression-era work relief program initiated by the Federal Government in 1935. A fire destroyed the original log cabin on December 14, 1937. With the support of the community, Mayor Bain turned again to the WPA for funding and labor to rebuild the structure. This cabin features an 8'x12' mural painted by artists of the WPA's Federal Art Project and which depicts Fairview's history through the 1930s. The new cabin was dedicated on January 15, 1940, and was named in honor of Mayor Bain in 1957, four years after his death.
