Answer:

Based on the line, the meaning of the word "fair" is the following one:

Beautiful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roderick Usher uses the poem as a way to figuratively describe his own family's decay, and also his house's. He means once both the place and the family had pleasing appearance (they were fair/beautiful) and were also majestic (they were stately/grand).
