To commemorate The Hartford’s role in and substantial contribution to the construction of 33 Sargeant Street, Ken Johnson presented Robert Yass with an antique fire plaque from the Hartford Fire Insurance Company.  These plaques were used in the 19th century to indicate that a house had fire insurance, and Hartford Fire is a predecessor of today’s Hartford Financial Services Group.

The plaque was mounted right next to the front door at the end of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
