03/25/2011
Our offices are now located at 400 North Saint Paul Street on the 14th floor of The Hartford Building in downtown Dallas. The Hartford Building is an older building that is in process of being renovated, some interesting historical facts about the building are given here.
The Hartford Building is a mid-rise skyscraper located in the City Center District of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA) and adjacent to DART's St. Paul Station.*
The $5 million office building, built during a time of large insurance growth in Dallas, was constructed to serve as the southwestern regional home office for the Hartford Fire Insurance Group. It was developed by Trammell Crow and Eugene Locke and opened in 1960. In separate incidents during construction in 1959, a 20-foot (6.1 m) steel beam and a brick fell to street level from upper floors. The beam pierced a truck and was embedded into the pavement and the brick bounced off a car below; amazingly, no one was injured. The building's 400 space Bryan Street Garage was replaced with a shared-use garage built for the adjacent Patriot Tower in 1981.*
Commercial Woodwork Solutions office shares the 14th floor with Hilton Head Properties. The elevator service stops at floor 13, where visitors take a spiral staircase to the 14th floor and find our offices down the hall on the north end of the floor. A lrage balcony offers a beautiful view of downtown Dallas.
