William Allen is a sculpture depicting the American politician of the same name by Charles Henry Niehaus. The statue was gifted by the U.S. state of Ohio to the National Statuary Hall Collection in 1887, but later replaced with one of Thomas Edison due to Allen's pro-slavery viewpoints.[1] Allen's statue was relocated to the Ross County Heritage Center, in Chillicothe, Ohio.[2]
