William H. Allen (1858–1936) was an American architect who worked in New Haven, Connecticut. He designed hundreds of houses and other buildings. [1]
Allen, a native of Northampton, Massachusetts, moved to New Haven around 1867 or 1868 and spent most of his adult life there. [1]
He and Richard Williams' Beaux Arts architecture design for the New Haven County Courthouse won a design competition over submissions from several well-known architects. The building, erected in 1914, prominently faces the New Haven Green. [2] [3]
Several of his works are individually listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). [4] Many others are contributing buildings in New Haven's NRHP-listed Whitney Avenue Historic District and other historic districts.
