Tingey House, Historic house in Washington Navy Yard, United States
The Tingey House features Georgian architectural elements with a symmetrical design, gable roof, and two-and-a-half-story brick construction at the Washington Navy Yard.
Built in 1804 under Secretary of Navy Robert Smith's orders, the residence survived the burning of Washington Navy Yard during the War of 1812.
The residence maintains its role as the official home of the Chief of Naval Operations, representing a connection between naval leadership and historical traditions.
Located near the Latrobe Gate, the residence contains multiple rooms across two floors, including dining areas, parlors, bedrooms, and a recently renovated kitchen.
Multiple reports since 1853 describe unexplained events attributed to Commodore Thomas Tingey, including a dog's reaction to an empty chair in 1960.
