Morgan House is a colonial-era mansion built in the 1930s by a British jute merchant, set in landscaped gardens on the southern side of town. The building is in a distinctive Arts and Crafts style with half-timbering, wide verandas, and large windows — a conscious evocation of an English country house transplanted to the Himalayan foothills. It has been taken over by the West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation and operates as a heritage hotel.
Even if you are not staying here, it is worth seeing the exterior and gardens, which are maintained and open during the day. The house sits on a quiet lane below the Zong Dog Palri Fo-Brang Gompa, and the walk between the two — through residential streets lined with colonial-era bungalows and nursery gardens — gives a sense of Kalimpong's layered history.
