Not too long ago we saw the commercial addition to the Westmoore Hotel at 1000 W. 7th Street:

Down the street at 1619 W. 7th Street, the same thing happened to the Fairmount Apartments, shown here in 1967:

The Fairmount is listed in the 1909 LA City Directory and is on the 1910 Baist Map (Burlington and Union are the north-south avenues):

I couldn't find any photos of a pristine Fairmount, which by 1942 was listed in the LA City Directory as "C. H. Perkins Furnished Rooms" at 1617-1/2 West 7th. Today, the stretch of Ingraham between Little and Union has been vacated and most of the whole expanded block -- including the Fairmount site -- is taken up by the Esperanza Elementary School, built in 1992.

The Baist Map above is too early to show the 1925 Young's Market Co. building at the SW corner of 7th and Union:

It almost didn't make it thru the 1992 LA Riots, but it's now the City View Lofts:

And since we're in the neighborhood, we've seen the Hotel Pepper, at 7th and Burlington, here before:
