The Peggy Stewart House is a Georgian-style mansion in Annapolis, Maryland, constructed between 1761 and 1764 by Thomas Rutland as a rental property. Over its early decades, the house passed through the ownership of prominent figures including Thomas Stone and Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer, a U.S. Founding Father. By October 1774, it belonged to Anthony Stewart, owner of the ship Peggy Stewart, which became the focus of a significant political incident. The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 for both its architectural importance as a mid- to late 18th-century Georgian mansion and its historical associations with the burning of the Peggy Stewart. It was subsequently designated a National Historic Landmark, recognized for its connections to Jenifer and Stone and its representation of American political and diplomatic life during the Revolutionary era (1763–1783).
