Description:
Known as the "grand lady of Jersey City," the Fairmount Hotel is an example of an early twentieth century hotel and apartment. It consists of two L-shaped four and one-half story brick and concrete buildings connected by a one-story structure with dining and meeting rooms. Constructed in two stages, the first or east building was designed by the firm of Newman and Harris in 1909, and the second or west building by Frank Newman in 1912.
Today it is a fifty-nine unit senior residence.
