The Hartford & New Haven Railroad Freight Depot building is located at the end of Central Street in Downtown Windsor, Connecticut, across the street from the equally historic Hartford & New Haven Railroad Depot, which now serves as an Amtrak station. It is a long, two-story brick structure with a largely utilitarian design; there are decorative round wagon-wheel windows in the gables. It was built circa 1870 by the Hartford and New Haven Railroad to handle freight traffic.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

It is now used as the home of the Windsor Arts Center, a non-profit place that exhibits the work of visual and performing artists.[3]
