The Dr. Seuss Museum, Springfield, MA
Weymouth Granite split face stone was used to create this old-world look with muted gray tones. The corners of the building are the lighter-colored version of the stone. Plymouth Quarries Granite was chosen to make sure it didn’t compete with the color of “The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss.”
