Morgan House

Morgan House is a British colonial mansion on Durpin Hill in Kalimpong, West Bengal, now operated as a heritage tourist lodge by the West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation. Built in the 1930s for jute baron George Morgan, the stone bungalow exemplifies colonial hill-station architecture with chimneys, wooden interiors and sloping roofs. Set above Kalimpong town, it offers valley views and clear-day views of the Kanchenjunga range.

Visitors can expect a well-preserved two-storey colonial bungalow with stone walls, sloping tiled roofs, fireplaces and wooden interiors set within landscaped lawns on a hillside. The property overlooks Kalimpong town and surrounding valleys with views of the Kanchenjunga range on clear days. As a functioning WBTDC heritage lodge, the interior and gardens are primarily accessible to staying guests, offering rooms, dining areas and quiet garden spaces in an elevated, tranquil setting.

Built in the early 1930s as a summer residence for George Morgan, a British jute baron, Morgan House reflects British colonial hill-station architecture of the period. After independence it came under government ownership and was later converted into a tourist lodge managed by the West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation, preserving its colonial character.

Represents British colonial heritage in Kalimpong and illustrates 1930s hill-station bungalow architecture and lifestyle. Maintained as a heritage accommodation, it contributes to cultural and heritage tourism in the Darjeeling-Kalimpong region.
