Today’s Cathedral Park was originally part of the grounds leading up to the main entrance to St. Vincent Sanatorium (see Marian Hall), and situated adjacent to St. Francis Cathedral, to the south. Its sandstone pillars marked the entry and formal drive into the facility. Preserved as a public open space for the last 100 years, the park marks the corner of Cathedral Place and Palace Avenue.
