Darling Inn - Lyndonville VT - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The site where the Darling Inn stands has probably held a hotel since not long after the founding of Lyndonville in 1866. The Lyndon Hotel burned down in 1924, and a building committee of local businessmen was formed to develop a replacement. The land was owned by Elmore Darling, a local businessman and philanthropist who had retired from the hotel trade in New York City to his extensive estate north of the town. The principal design was by Wells and Hudson of Hanover, New Hampshire, but Darling personally designed the building's elaborately decorated dining room. At its opening in 1928, the hotel was described as Vermont's most opulent.

The Darling Inn was converted into nursing home in 1964, and has since been converted into apartments.
