Perched above the city of Reading in Pennsylvania
you'll find some Japanese architecture in an unlikely place.
This pagoda was built in 1908 and intended for use
as a hotel and restaurant.
I'm not sure what would draw people to a hotel here
and maybe that is why it was abandoned.
Today it is owned by the city of Reading
and part of the surrounding park.
You can view the city below from the Pagoda parking lot.
There are also hiking trails in the park around the Pagoda.
If you visit on the weekend,
you can go inside to a cafe and gift shop.
The Pagoda is located at
98 Duryea Dr, Reading, PA 19602
