The WCR Center for the Arts is located in the historic Callowhill District of downtown Reading. Erected in 1866 as a stately mansion, built on the site of Reading’s first Post Office. In 1898 the Wyomissing Club occupied the building until 1919 when it became the home of the Woman’s Club of Reading. From the outside, the building looks a bit larger than a stately city townhouse, with its new sign and carriage lights inviting the public inside to a wonderful facility, at the center of which is a 265-seat auditorium with an acoustical quality unmatched anywhere in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The facility also boasts a fine gallery and reception hall, and two spacious rental spaces on its second floor. In the summer of 2004, several community leaders came together to form a new entity, “The WCR Center for the Arts”. The organization was formed for the purpose of preserving the historic building for the Arts and community engagement. The WCR Center for the Arts is a first-class artistic venue, capable of serving the community in a variety of ways into the future
