Brescia Hall - Ursuline College of Arts - 1955

Our Odyssey continues with another discovery. Joseph Guardo did a number of statues for the Ursuline Order, including this 7'-0" statue over the Entrance of the Brescia Hall of the Ursuline College of Arts (part of the University of Western Ontario) in London, Ontario. The statue, Our Lady of the Guard (Notre-Dame de la Garde) was sculpted in 1955 of imitation Indiana Limestone.

We wish to thank Sheila Blagrave, Director of Communications, Marketing, and External Relations of Brescia University College, and Kim Young Milani of Brescia Hall for the photos. They clearly show the beauty and majesty of the statue.
