Phoenix Life Insurance Company Building - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The "Boat Building" is not just another glass building. This building stands out from the Hartford Skyline. Barely 45 years old, one would think that it is too young to be listed as a historic place. Its the 'out of the box' design that has earned it a place on the National Registry.

It is close to Hartford's Constitution Plaza and the Old State House. Many natives may not take notice but the tourists do. On my scouting mission, I wasn't the only one taking pictures.

This webpage (visit link) has the Hartford Courant news article announcing the listing in the National Registry.
