Allen was honored by the L. Calhoun Allen Exposition Hall on the Clyde Fant Parkway. The facility was part of the Red River convention complex but was considered too small for conventions but suitable for gun shows and similar events, but the acoustics rendered it undesirable for concerts. The facility was hence renamed StageWorks of Louisiana.
