Calhoun-Gibert House is a historic home located at Willington in McCormick County, South Carolina. It was built about 1856 and was originally a one-story Greek Revival style dwelling.

About 1908, the home was enlarged to two stories, and it was modified to incorporate Classical Revival design elements. It features a full-width, one-story hipped roof porch and a projecting pedimented portico. Also on the property are a contributing frame garage, a two-story frame cattle barn, a board-and-batten smoke house, a hay barn, and a potato barn.

The house is associated with the Calhoun family, a family of McCormick County planters and businessmen. [2] [3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. [1]
