The James Alexis Darling House is a historic house at 1932 Litchfield Turnpike (Connecticut Route 69) in Woodbridge, Connecticut. Built in 1842 for a grandson of Thomas Darling (whose house stands nearby), it is a good example of a rural Greek Revival farmhouse. Although built with the latest exterior styling, its construction style harkens back to 18th-century building practices. James Alexis Darling worked in the family mercantile business and moved to Woodbridge to oversee his grandfather's farm. ^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. ^[1]
