== History ==
Philadelphia architectural firm Zantzinger, Borie and Medary, which had collaborated on the Philadelphia Museum of Art, designed the building to be the headquarters for Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company.〔 Construction began in 1926 and the building was completed in 1928. Sculptor Lee Lawrie created its decorative scheme, which features polychrome facades adorned with figures symbolizing attributes of insurance: the owl of wisdom, the dog of fidelity, the pelican of charity, the opossum of protection, and the squirrel of frugality.〔 Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company occupied the building from 1927 to 1972.〔 In 1982, it was acquired and restored by the Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company, which in turn relocated in 1999.〔(Historic landmarks of Philadelphia )〕
