Thank you for finding your way to the web site of the Centre Park Historic District, Inc., celebrating the Victorian charm of this great neighborhood north of downtown Reading, Pennsylvania.

One of Reading's first suburbs, Centre Park is comprised of 840

properties of Victorian and early 20th Century architecture.

Annual events include a Christmas House tour, ecclectic Flea Markets, an Arts and Antiques Fair, and the Garden Tour, which promote appreciation and preservation of the District. A number of special events are planned for our 27th Anniversary this year.
