Title: The Pagoda of Reading, Pennsylvania
Post by: JennyW on October 18, 2021, 04:08:06 PM
This is The Pagoda that stands on Mt. Penn overlooking the city of Reading, Pennsylvania, USA. It was built in 1908 as the restaurant/hotel of a planned resort above the city, but the idea was scrapped and the pagoda was given to the city. It's always been an icon of Reading, fun for photographers, and a parking place for lovers.

Thank you for showing this wonderful building that otherwise i would have not known that it even existed...I cant imagine how many years it took to build...I should imagine it can be seen for miles and miles around..

Hi Jacqueline! It is an interesting building. There are a lot of marriage proposals done up there. I grew up in the city below - Reading, Pennsylvania. It's really neat at night because it's always lit up on the hill.
