The '''Hynson-Ringgold House''' is the [[official residence]] of the [[President of Washington College]]. It sits on the corner of Cannon Street and Water Street in [[Chestertown, Maryland]]. The building is in the [[Georgian architecture|Georgian style]] and is made entirely out of brick. In the rear of the building there is a large enclosed garden.

The lot that the house sits on was purchased by Nathanial Hynson in 1935, but he never built anything on it.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Hynson split the lot in two pieces and sold the section near Water Street to William Murphy in the 1738.<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The front of part of the building was then built in 1743.
