| former Howard Johnson's [gone] Harrisburg, PA |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This former Howard Johnson's was built in the 1940s. It was the last Colonial style location left with an orange roof. The building last housed the Jade Chinese Buffet. However, it was vacant in 2010 when these photos were taken. The building was still vacant in 2014. It was demolished in 2018. For more, see this website. |

| This Howard Johnson's opened in 1965. The gate house has been updated. The steeple and weathervane disappeared around 2009. The motel room row still retains the original balconies and square detailing on the walls. The restaurant building next door now houses a Lancaster Brewing Company location.

| Queen City Family Restaurant Reading, PA |
|
 |
 |
| The Queen City Family Restaurant sure looks like a former Howard Johnson's restaurant. Despite the orange roof and weathervane, according to a couple of different sources, this was originally Moore's Restaurant. There was even a neon sign that strongly resembled the one used by Howard Johnson's. Moore's later became a Dempsey's. The building has housed the Queen City Family Restaurant since the mid-1980s. It closed in 2021 and was going to be renovated as a medical marijuana dispensary. However, I believe the building is still vacant. [map] |
