The '''Kable House''' is an Italianate building from 1873 on the Mary Baldwin University campus. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1979.<ref name=rhrplist>{{cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/nr/research/data_downloads/1966-2012_LI_RN.xlsx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220012834/http://www.nps.gov/nr/research/data_downloads/1966-2012_LI_RN.xlsx|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 20, 2013|title=1966-2012_LI_RN-1.xlsx|publisher=United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service|year=2012|accessdate=2013-11-20}}</ref> It is a two-story, five-bay brick house on a raised basement.
Construction started in 1873, and was completed in 1874, for John W. Alby. In 1884, Captain William Hartman Kable purchased the house and opened the Staunton Male Academy (which was renamed again in 1886 to Staunton Military Academy, at the same location) in the building.<ref name=shs>{{cite web |url=http://www.staunton.va.us/directory/departments-h-z/planning-inspections/images%20and%20files/history |title=History |publisher=City of Staunton, Department of Planning & Inspections |year=2010 |accessdate=2013-11-23 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130407051340/http://www.staunton.va.us/directory/departments-h-z/planning-inspections/images%20and%20files/history |archivedate=2013-04-07 }}</ref>
The house was remodeled in 1917 by T.J. Collins architectural firm, and added indoor plumbing and a kitchen, as well as some modifications to the exterior.
Staunton Military Academy continued to operate until 1976, at which time the building was purchased by Mary Baldwin College.<ref name=dhr>{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Cities/Staunton/132-0022_Kable_House_1979_Final_Nomination.pdf |title=132-0022 Kable House 1979 Final Nomination|publisher=United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service |year=1979 |accessdate=2013-11-23}}</ref>
