Traditional proportions and a simple border give the Hartford one line wall plaque its appeal. It’s a straightforward rectangle that holds one row of large house numbers in a classic font. Homeowners who want a sign that looks right on a colonial, a cape or a brick ranch pick it again and again.

One line, big numbers

Up to 5 numbers fit on the single line at 7 inches tall. At that size, a three- or four-digit address is legible from the street and from a moving car. A plaque this size is also a good match for a two-car garage wall. The photo shows 3749 in gold on a red background. If your number is shorter, it centers within the border.

Eleven finishes on the Hartford one line wall plaque

You can order it in Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Black/Silver, Black/White, Bronze/Gold, Green/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter/Silver, Red/Gold or White/Gold. Red/Gold and Green/Gold are popular for houses with white trim, because the plaque becomes a small accent. For a quieter look, Oil Rubbed Bronze or Antique Copper blends in with brick and stone.

What it’s cast from

Recycled aluminum is the base of every Hartford one line wall plaque, and it’s cast in the USA. Aluminum does not rust, so the sign is fine on a damp north wall. The all-weather coating is covered by a five-year warranty. Rinse off pollen and dirt with water; there’s no need for polish.

When you want the street name too, the two-line Hartford is in the wall-mounted address plaques category. If you’d prefer to mark the driveway rather than the house, look at the lawn address plaques. Double-check your number before ordering a Hartford one line wall plaque; the digits are cast in, and personalized orders can’t be changed or returned.
