The Reading Pagoda has been a landmark in Reading, Pennsylvania for more than a century.

Reading, Pa -- Reading's Pagoda just completed an extensive renovation.

It has been a landmark in the area for more than a century, and now a foundation is set to ensure it remains a beacon for generations to come.

The Pagoda was originally "completed in 1908 by a man named William Abbot Whitman." Explains Alexa Freyman, President of The Pagoda Foundation. "He saw Nagoya Castle in Japan and wanted to make a structure modeling it."

The Pagoda is set on 10 acres in historic Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
