The Quadrangle is the heart of the city of Springfield, Massachusetts' cultural community. Four museums, the city's central library, and the National Dr. Seuss Memorial are all located facing a small park at the corner of State and Chestnut Streets, on the edge of city's downtown district. The corner is distinguished by "The Puritan," a statue which depicts one of the city's founders Deacon Samuel Chapin. Also located on that edge of the Quadrangle is the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts' Christ Church Cathedral. The Roman Catholic St. Michael's Cathedral adjoins the Library at the southeast corner of the Quadrangle.
