Robert Dale Owen Memorial, Bronze memorial sculpture at Indiana Statehouse, Indianapolis, United States.
The Robert Dale Owen Memorial is a bronze sculptural work on a stone base positioned outside the Indiana Statehouse along Washington Street. The artwork sits at the south side entrance of the building and is publicly accessible.
The memorial received approval in 1905 and was dedicated in March 1911. This monument was installed to remember the 1800s reformer and his contributions to social change.
The memorial honors Owen's advocacy for women's property and inheritance rights and his support for women's voting rights in the 1800s across Indiana. His legacy remains visible at this important location in the state.
The memorial sits directly at the Statehouse entrance and is easy to locate and reach. Its open location allows viewing from the street at any time.
The original bronze portrait bust by sculptor Frances Goodwin vanished from the base in September 1970. The sculpture has never been recovered since that time.
