The Burt-Stark Mansion, also known as Armistead Burt House, in Abbeville, South Carolina was the site of the last Council of War of cabinet members of the Confederate government.

On May 2, 1865, Jefferson Davis, hoping to continue the struggle, met unanimous opposition and realized the Confederate independence cause was lost.

A banker from Charleston, South Carolina, Andrew Simonds, bought it from Hoyt and, in 1862, sold it to Armistead Burt, who owned it when Jefferson Davis used the building.

After fuming for several minutes, Davis resigned himself to the decision of the others, effectively ending the existence of the Confederate States of America.

After Davis died in the fall of 1987, the Abbeville Historic Preservation Commission was given control of the house and has operated tours of it ever since.

A central great hall with an Adam fanlight is the main entrance to the domicile, with a drawing room on each side.

After the war, the only additions to the house were a bathroom and a northwest corner wing, which provided extra kitchen space.

He sent Cubic, an enslaved man who was a master carpenter, to look at the prototype house, and he then oversaw the construction of Lesley's reproduction.
