Reading News Building, 22-24 North Fifth Street, Reading, Berks County, PA
Summary
Written data includes floor plans.
Significance: The City of Reading has witnessed the appearance and disappearance of numerous newspapers since the origin of the town's existence. The Reading News was established in 1912 but went out of business sometime that same year. Having such a short life, little has been recorded of its history. The overall building with its Beaux Arts details reflects attention to detail not usually affordable in the 1870s.
