Dover Slave Quarter Complex is a set of five historic structures located on Brookview Farm near Manakin-Sabot, Goochland County, Virginia. They were built as one-story, two unit, brick structures with steep gable roofs. They are arranged in a wide arc, measuring 360 feet in length. The center dwelling had a frame second-story added and its brick walls covered by siding when it was converted to an overseer's house. It has a recent rear addition. In addition to the center dwelling, one of the slave dwellings serves as the farm office, one serves as a woodworking shop and the remaining two are used for storage. Also on the farm are the contributing two early 20th-century farm structures, one of which is an impressively long dairy barn, two tenant houses, silos, and storage buildings.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
