Dr. Richard Androne and the Callowhill Citizens' Association issued this booklet outlining walking tours in the three Reading (Pennsylvania) historic districts. The map of the areas is separate sheet for ease in use and color coded to each district. (Note that not all street names are on the map but it should be easy to figure out your locations.) The booklet is illustrated with drawings and black and white photographs of some of the exterior and interiors of buildings on each tour. (The tour is only of the exteriors of the buildings - photos and drawings may be included of private residences.) There is a glossary of architectural terms included.

I wished that there were more photographs included to make reading the book more interesting. Also a few of the buildings have been demolished since publication (especially on Penn Street) in spite of the historical district rules.

Using the book for me was an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon and I highly recommend it, even though it was published about 35 years ago. Much hasn't changed and the various architectural styles are still there to be admired ( )
