Darling Inn, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
The Darling Inn is a four-story brick building from the late 1920s in Lyndonville, Vermont. It features Colonial Revival architectural details including symmetrical window arrangements, Palladian windows at the entrance, a large porch with columns, and dormers on the gabled roof.
The original Lyndon Hotel occupied this site until it burned in 1924. Local businessmen built the replacement structure, which opened in 1928 as Vermont's most luxurious hotel, then converted to a nursing home in 1964 and eventually into residential apartments.
The building takes its name from Elmore Darling, a businessman who came from New York and became an important figure in the community. Today it serves residents and visitors as a gathering place where meals and community programs happen throughout the week.
The building sits on the main street with shops, parks, and services nearby, making it easy to locate and walkable to local destinations. The entrance features a prominent porch that is visible from the street.
The inn's dining room was personally planned by Elmore Darling, the landowner, even though a New Hampshire company designed the rest of the building. This hands-on involvement shows how invested he was in creating something special for the community.
