Pleasant View, also known as Trabue's Tavern, is a historic plantation house located near Midlothian, Chesterfield County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1730, and consists of two parts—an early 1 1/2-story western wing with a lean-to and a later two-story eastern wing with a one-story rear lean-to. Both sections are frame structures with gable roofs. Also on the property are a contributing well house, dairy, smokehouse, two kitchen buildings, schoolhouse, and family cemetery. The property was owned by one of the principal mine-owning families in the area as well served as an inn patronized by travelers and miners alike.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
