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.

SS United States, long docked in Philly, goes under the waves

The formerly Philadelphia-docked SS United States now rests at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Why it matters: So ends the vessel's strange odyssey from the United States' largest ocean liner to Philly landmark to world's largest artificial reef . Driving the news: The controlled sinking began Wednesday afternoon roughly 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin-Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The sinking was slow going and stretched on for hours, but it was all over around 10pm when the ship fully disappeared into the water. Zoom in: The SS United States now joins a smorgasbord of other sunken vessels and artificial reefs for divers to explore off the beach. Plus: The ship's iconic red-white-and-blue smokestacks, as well as radar mast and a massive five-blade propeller were removed before the sinking — all of which will be incorporated into a land-based museum for the ship nearby. 👷 How it works: No explosives were used to sink the ship. Instead, crews strategically placed openings in the ship's hull and underwent a controlled flooding, which allowed it to rest in an upright position on the Gulf floor. Several compartments and lower deck areas that were deemed unsafe were also sealed
