Located in Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia, Mont Calm — also known as Montcalm — is a historic house. It is a two-story, five-bay brick farmhouse constructed in the Federal style that dates back to 1827. Its two-story extension, which was added in approximately 1905, is 40 feet long and 30 feet broad. A standing seam metal gable roof covers the home, which has a limestone base. A porch with a shed roof and Tuscan order columns supports the front facade. Virginia Governor David Campbell lived there (1779–1859).[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
