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.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
