Ringgold Historic District
Washington County, MD
Section Number 7 Page 1
7. Description
The Ringgold Historic District is a primarily residential historic district of forty-three acres located in the
unincorporated village of Ringgold in the northwestern quadrant of Election District No. 14 (the Ringgold District),
in rural northern Washington County, Maryland, approximately twelve miles northeast of the county seat of Hagers-
town and less than one-half mile south of the Mason-Dixon Line and the Franklin County, Pennsylvania border. The
district includes portions of Barkdoll Street (Maryland Route 847), Midvale Street, and Misty Meadow Road. The
Ringgold District contains a total of 46 resources, 42 of which (90%) contribute to the character of the district and
4 (10%) are non-contributing. Non-contributing resources are buildings erected outside the c. 1825-c. 1920 Period
of Significance of the district and others, the extent of whose alteration has resulted in a loss of historic architectural
integrity and their classification as non-contributing resources. All of the properties in the district are buildings except
for the Springfield Cemetery (Resource No. 31), which is a contributing site within the context of the nomination.
Approximately seventy-five percent of the resources in the district pre -date 1900, approximately fifteen percent of the
resources were constructed between 1900 and the end of the Period of Significance c. 1920, and the remaining approxi-
mately ten percent are of modern construction and are non-contributing to the character of the district. The predomi-
nant character of the district is that of a rural western Maryland hamlet located atop a hill overlooking a spacious valley
and consisting primarily of a single linear thoroughfare.
The architecture of the Ringgold Historic District consists principally of modest vernacular residences of two
stories in height, located on either side of Barkdoll Street and on parts of Midvale Street and Misty Meadow Road.' A
relatively small number of more pretentious homes represent a higher degree of sophistication than is seen inmost of
the architectural resources of the district. The vast majority of the district's architecture is of wood construction. Most
of the homes retain front porches of varying scales and forms along with associated domestic outbuildings including
sheds and garages. Larger dependencies are included in the resource count, while smaller outbuildings (sheds, small
automobile garages, etc.) are treated as low -scale landscape features and are not represented in the count. The district
retains integrity in each ofits seven qualities: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
The building lots of the Ringgold Historic District are irregular in plan, and reflect the patterns of traditional,
unplanned, and unregulated subdivision of land generations prior to the onset of uniform formal subdivision require-
IAlterations to Maryland Route 64 include a large cut and the bypassing of much of Ringgold, which left a portion
of the community south of Route 64, including the District 14 School, a Colonial Revival -style brick school building, which
appears to be minimally altered but is outside the district, separated by the expanse of the Route 64 cut. The school appears
to meet National Register eligibility requirements as an individual property under Criteria A and C.

ments. The topography rises considerably from Route 418 (which bypasses the district) to Barddoll Road, which is
the principal north -south thoroughfare in the district. Property setback lines are irregular throughout the district and
landscaping includes lawns both large and small.
The buildings in the district are rectilinear in form and generally vary in height between one -and -one-half and
two -and -one-half stories. Most buildings are roofed with laterally -oriented gable roofs, clad in standing -seam metal or
in asphalt shingles. Some historic chimneys have been retained, while others have been removed in the course of
retrofitting heating systems and replacing roofs. Fenestration is nearly exclusively flat-topped; in several instances, a
pointed -arch window suggests design influence from the Gothic Revival style of architecture; for the most part, win-
dows are generally sparsely ornamented; some multi -light historic sash has been retained. The majority ofthe buildings
in the district rest on substantial foundations of coursed rock -faced limestone.
As noted above, the architectural character of the Ringgold Historic District is primarily vernacular, with most
buildings executed without reference to any particular formal building style. Some traditional house types are found
in the district, including side -passage single -pile homes and central -passage double -pile houses to which have been
appended later additions. Some properties exhibit more design sophistication than others. Among these are 14510,
14321, 14527, and 14537 Barkdoll Road (Resource Nos.13, 24, 31, ands 34, respectively), which are Federal -style
houses. The Federal -style homes are of two stories, some with three -bay facades and others with five -bay arrangements.
All are of brick construction, and some employ Flemish bond brick treatment while others are of common bond. One
Italianate property is in Ringgold; it is a two-story brick building which appears to have been a commercial property
which has been converted to residential use. Vernacular adaptations of the Gothic Revival style are located at 14528,
14432, and 14410 Barkdoll Road (Resource Nos. 7, 14, and 18, respectively). The Gothic Revival influence is seen
in centered gables on facades and pointed -arched pedimental windows. The Colonial Revival style is represented in a
vernacular adaptation seen at 14420 Barkdoll Road (Resource No. 17), which is a two-story wood residence with a
centered gable on the facade and a Palladian window in the pediment of the gable. One Bungalow is in the district
(14541 Barkdoll Road; Resource No. 35) and an American Foursquare is located at 22901 Midvale Road (Resource
No. 22).
Near the center of the Ringgold Historic District is the only contributing site, the Springfield Cemetery (Re-
source No. 31), which lies along a hillside east of Barkdoll Road. Near the foot of this hill immediately inside the
district's eastern boundary, is the River Brethren Church Meeting House, an 1871 vernacular church building of brick
construction, with a laterally -oriented gable roof and five -bay lateral elevations punctuated by flat-topped fenestration

with operable exterior shutters.
As noted in the introductory paragraph, the Ringgold Historic District retains historic and architectural integ-
rity. Although modest in its scale and detailing, the overall character of the district is intact and represents the early
growth and maturity of this hamlet throughout its Period of Significance. Very little demolition has occurred and only
a very small number of newer buildings —modern residences and garages -have been built within the boundaries of the
nominated area. Alterations to buildings within the district include the application of non -historic siding and the
installation of replacement windows. These alterations are dispersed throughout the district and do not detract signifi-
cantly from the ability of the nominated area to reflect its appearance throughout the Period of Significance.
Viewed in its entirety, the Ringgold Historic District is an architecturally -cohesive settlement which grew up
along Barkdoll Road after the initial 1825 settlement of the community by pioneer Joseph Creager. The nominated
area retains integrity and contains forty modestly -scaled historic residential properties, one historic church, and one
contributing site.
The following properties lie within the Ringgold Historic District. The numbering corresponds to the district
map which was submitted with the nomination documents. All properties are assumed to contribute to the character
of the district except those after whose description an "NC" appears; these properties are non-contributing to the
character of the district, either because they date from outside the Period of Significance of the district or because their
extent of alteration has significantly compromised their individual character with reference to the district. The dates
of construction are generally approximate and are based upon physical examination, upon the scant written documenta-
don which exists for the district, and upon oral interviews conducted in the course of the preparation of the National
Register documents.
