From Prison Warden to Liquor Merchant
The remarkable history of 903 Buttonwood Street, Isaac Daniel Lutz, and the German Stomach Bitters that traveled far beyond Reading. At 903 Buttonwood Street stands one of Reading's most distinctive nineteenth-century commercial buildings. Its ornate facade, projecting bay window, floral ornaments and the date 1891 high above the street recall an era when a merchant's building could be as memorable as the goods sold inside. Yet the story of this address reaches from a Robesonia hotel to the Berks County Prison, and from a family tragedy to a widely distributed brand of medicinal bitters.

Colonel Robert Hooper House | Lehigh Valley Landmarks
On April 28, 1779, a man in Easton, Pennsylvania, sat down to write to a friend. He had an army to supply, with wheat to buy, wagons to gather, and soldiers who could not wait. But the line that survives is about fish. “Mrs. Hooper,” he wrote, “has been collecting Shad for two weeks.” It is a small, domestic detail. It tells you this was not a man passing through. He was Colonel Robert Lettis Hooper Jr.. The house where he lived and worked still stands at 501 Fifth and Northampton Streets and it is the oldest house within Easton’s city limits.
