Mount Joy, also known as the Peter Legaux Mansion, is a historic house in the Spring Mill section of Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

It was built about 1735, and is a 2 1/2-story, five bay, stone dwelling with a gambrel roof. It has 10 fireplaces, some with iron firebacks.[2]

Peter Legaux was the owner of "Spring Mill," a nearby gristmill that was in operation by 1704. The mill burned in 1967, and its stone ruins were demolished.[3]

Mount Joy was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]
