The Southern New England Telephone Company Building is a historic high-rise office building at 55 Trumbull Street in Hartford, Connecticut. It is a twelve-story Art Deco building faced with granite and limestone, and was designed by the architectural firm of Roy Foote. When originally built in 1931 it was six stories tall, but was provisioned for enlargement; another six stories were added in 1952, designed by Westcott and Mapes to seamlessly integrated with the existing structure. The Southern New England Telephone Company began moving out of the premises in the 1970s, and fully vacated it in the late 1990s.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
