History on the Pagoda: The Reading Pagoda sits high above downtown Reading atop Mount Penn, 620 feet above the city below. The pagoda is an imposing sight above the city and can be seen from many parts of both downtown Reading and West Reading. Completed in 1908 at a cost of $50,000, this pagoda was intended to be the hotel/restaurant centerpiece of a luxury resort. When plans for the rest of the resort were abandoned, the 7-story wooden building on 10 acres of land was donated to Reading in 1911. Today, the property has been fully restored and is maintained by both the city and non-profit partners.
