"The goddess of protection" (New York [120 Broadway], 1870): "The porticoed and pedimented entrance to the home office had originally been decorated by a John Ward statue group representing the goddess of protection, the Equitable's icon. Over time, the stone began to crumble, and the sculpture had to be removed, which Henry Hyde saw as a disappointment, but not an augur". (Patricia Beard, 2003)
