Neptune

A statue of Neptune with his trident and three horses, famous in Greek mythology, was cast of lead in 1911 by the Bromsgrove Guild, Ltd., of Worchestershire, England, for the Pennsylvania estate of the late Alba B. Johnson, then president of the Baldwin Locomotive Company. In 1946, following Johnson's death, the estate became the property of the New Sharon Convent of the Holy Child Jesus in Rosemont, Pa., and later the statuary was acquired by an eastern art dealer. In 1953 it was purchased and installed by the J.C. Nichols Company and dedicated to the enjoyment of all visitors to the Plaza.
