The James Alexis Darling House, built in 1842 on Litchfield Turnpike in Woodbridge, Connecticut, exemplifies rural Greek Revival architecture of its era. Constructed for James Alexis Darling, who managed his grandfather Thomas Darling's nearby farm while working in the family mercantile business, the house blends contemporary exterior styling with building practices rooted in the eighteenth century. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020, it stands as a notable example of how nineteenth-century farmhouse design adapted classical Greek Revival aesthetics to rural New England traditions.
