Add to ORKGIntended to be a marvelous plaza inspired by European models, Cathedral Square is considered a problematic and failure of a space. E.F. Kennedy\u27s Roman Catholic Chancery Office and auditorium (1966-67) blocks the axis of Westmister Street and is a building that few regularly visit. The square, which serves as the forecourt to the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, was designed by world class architects, I.M. Pei and Zion & Breen but due to a lack of activity generators the space is largely unused.https://digitalcommons.ric.edu/smolski_images/1985/thumbnail.jp
