The Jacob Kamm House, also called the Jacob Kamm Mansion, is a French Second Empire style mansion in Portland, Oregon, built in 1871. It was moved from its original location on SW 14th and Main to its current location in the Goose Hollow neighborhood in 1950 to make room for the campus of Lincoln High School. Preservationist Eric Ladd purchased the house for 1,000 dollars at auction and relocated it, together with two other houses he wanted to preserve, to a cluster of historic buildings at SW 20th and Jefferson known as the colony. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 5, 1974.
