The Transfer House is a historic building located in Central Park in DecaturIllinois. Built in 1896, the building originally served as a transfer point for Decatur's electric streetcar system.

Architect William W. Boyington's design for the building was influenced by a number of Victorian styles, particularly the Richardsonian Romanesque

Thick limestone arches, a distinct Romanesque feature. form the first-floor windows and entrances of the building. A bell-shaped roof with a wide canopy provided outdoor shelter for passengers. The second floor of the building consists entirely of the open-air bandstand and is covered by a cupola.[2]

The Decatur Transfer House was ultimately moved to Central Park and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
