The Willimantic Freight House and Office is a historic railroad freight facility on Bridge Street in Willimantic section of Windham, Connecticut. It includes two buildings: a 2-1/2 story brick office building, with Second Empire styling, and a large wood frame building with a gable roof and seven large sliding doors, which served as the storage facility. The buildings are a reminder of Willimantic's importance as one of eastern Connecticut's busiest railroad yards at the height of the railroad industry.[2]

The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
