The Burt-Stark Mansion, also known as the Armistead Burt House, is a Greek Revival historic house in Abbeville, South Carolina, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was the site of the last Council of War of Confederate cabinet members, held on May 2, 1865, when Jefferson Davis, hoping to continue the struggle, met unanimous opposition and realized the Confederate cause was lost. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992 for this event.
