Burklyn Hall, Colonial Revival mansion in Burke and Lyndon, United States.

Burklyn Hall is a three-story wood-frame house on a granite foundation at the highest point of the Darling Hill ridge. Its square main block has a hip roof with gabled dormers and a balustraded widow's walk. A long ell runs south along the ridge, and the north entrance sits under a two-story Greek temple facade.

Elmer Darling, a Burke native who made his fortune running New York's Fifth Avenue Hotel, had Burklyn Hall built in 1904–08 to designs by Jardine, Kent & Jardine. The house, named for its position on the Burke–Lyndon town line, anchored a 1,400-acre estate covering essentially all of Darling Hill, listed on the National Register in 1973 as the Darling Estate Historic District. In the mid-20th century it served as a dormitory for Lyndon College.

The name Burklyn combines Burke and Lyndon, the two towns whose line the house straddles. Elmer Darling, a Burke native who ran New York's Fifth Avenue Hotel, built it as the centrepiece of a 1,400-acre estate covering nearly all of Darling Hill, listed on the National Register as the Darling Estate Historic District. In the mid-20th century Lyndon College used the hall as a dormitory.

Burklyn Hall stands on Darling Hill Road, straddling the Burke–Lyndon town line at the top of the Darling Hill ridge. The house sits at the highest point of the ridge, with the long ell running south and the main entrance facing north. The grounds are reached by road; the terrain along the ridge is uneven, so sturdy footwear helps when walking the former estate.

The building was ahead of its time with an elevator system and central vacuum cleaning equipment, features that were rarely found then. These technological features showcase how advanced the facilities were for the early 1900s.
