A penny for your memories… now at City Hall
While the Reading Pagoda undergoes renovations, one of its most beloved souvenirs—the Pagoda-themed Penny Press machine—has found a new temporary home inside Reading City Hall. Originally installed years ago by Pagoda-Skyline, Inc., the press features designs tied to local history, including the Pagoda, Fire Tower, a Reading Railroad locomotive, and the Duryea Hillclimb. We took a closer look at the story behind the machine, its designs, and how it continues to support preservation efforts on Mount Penn.
