The Fairchild House on S. Main Street in Monticello, Kentucky is a Queen Anne-style house built in 1905-06 for Wilburn Fillmore Fairchild, a banker and prominent local merchant. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]

It is a two-story brick house, in Queen Anne style with elements of Free Classic substyle, based on plans of Barber & Kluttz, architects of Knoxville, Tennessee who published pattern books that were distributed widely.[2]

It has been operated as a bed and breakfast, as Fairchild's Bed & Breakfast.[3][4][5]
