 Pricetown Road dates back to the 18th century as a road linking the village of Pricetown to Reading . The road was used by farmers in the Pricetown area who traveled to Reading to buy and sell wares . Pricetown was settled in 1754 and grew into a village with three taverns and a general store that served the trade to and from Reading . In the 19th century , Pricetown Road was used to transport Montana horses from Temple to country auctions in the area . Pricetown Road was originally an unpaved road . Warren Street in Reading was constructed by 1920 , running from Fayette Street near the Tulpehocken Creek east to a dead end near the Schuylkill River . In 1927 , Pricetown Road was paved in concrete . The road was straightened at the Walnuttown Road intersection by 1940 .
