The Medical Arts Building in Reading, Pennsylvania is located at 230 North Fifth Street and was designed by Frederick A. Muhlenberg founder of Muhlenberg Greene Architects.
The building was constructed at a cost of, approximately, $500,000, and the project created employment for many during the Great Depression.

The penthouse contained a kitchen, lounge and fireplace, and the space served as a club house for the building's tenants.
