The Willimantic Elks Club is a historic Elks lodge at 198 Pleasant Street in Windham, Connecticut. It is a large 2-1/2 story building, with a half-timber and stucco appearance characteristic of the Tudor Revival. It was built in 1925 and enlarged in 1957 to serve Elks functions. It is the area's finest example of Tudor Revival architecture, and is significant for its association with the local Elks organization, which has played a role in the civic life of the community since it was established in 1914.[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
