Penn's Common
 |
| The old lithograph, "Battalion Day Scene in Reading", shows the towns ranking military leaders posing in the upper reaches of Penn's Common. Looking westward into the background we see the walled-in cemetery along Hill Road, middle left; Rambo's Hotel, left rear; the Berks County Prison, middle rear; and the octagonal springhouse, which was a landmark in the park. |
