荆川先生读书处:
荆川先生读书处系明代江南古典园林建筑群,包括“濑云阁、五言楼、春池馆、压溪榭”回廊和假山、清溪、小桥等楼堂庭院。读书处为荆川先生早年告病辞官,归里后潜心读书的地方。他在此闭门谢客,教诲门生,为学主张不尚空谈,务求实在。
抗战时,读书处房屋及墓地树木悉被毁伐。
常州解放后,人民政府在读书处及墓地植树千余株,并按清代谢应芝《襄文读书处》的描述进行修复。读书处在处理上打破了“高墙深院”的传统,改完全封闭式为局部开敞式,以透廊、水体代替围墙,增加了园内外处景色的渗透,使主景地位更加突出。
南牌楼上“荆川先生读书处”七字为荆川先生外孙明朝礼部尚书、著名东林党人孙慎行手迹。
陈渡草堂:
荆川先生读书处又称为“陈渡草堂”,是唐荆川先生做了大官后,不忘恩师叶林的教诲,特在他读书处西面买地造了一座小园子送给叶林老师,又在西面运河(今南运河)上造了一座石桥拟题“叶林桥”,叶林得知后不同意,对荆川说:“你的心意我领了,但你要晓得,如果没有陈渡先生的推荐,我又怎么会来做你的老师呢?所以这座桥不能叫叶林桥,应该叫陈渡桥!”荆川先生按恩师意见,把此桥命名“陈渡桥”(如今陈渡桥仍在,只不过石桥改称水泥桥),并将读书处命名为“陈渡草堂”。
