was to go to Muskingum College, and another to the Columbus Foundation. Many of the head studies would be gifts to the statue committee and others who helped with the project. The statue was dedicated along with the Hall of Justice, on September 9, 1974. In 2011, the statue was joined in the building's lobby by the 2006 work Man of Characters, a 10-foot-tall portrait of Franklin, a gift from Ron Pizzuti's family. The work, by Brian Tolle, depicts Franklin as he appears on the $100 bill, but the lines that shape him are made up of Franklin's writings.
