"Built in 1906, the Fairmount Hotel is an example of the type of commercial establishment that characterized the prosperity of the turn-of-the-century San Antonio. This 3- story masonry, cast iron and wood frame structure is typical of commercial buildings that once lined the streets between downtown San Antonio and the train stations. Each had commercial enterprises on the ground floors and rooms for rent above. With the new addition completed in September of 1986, the current hotel houses 37 rooms and suites, a restaurant, bar and conference facilities. The interiors of both original and addition utilize the original profiles of casings and other wood trim as well as wood flooring in some guest rooms, the restaurant and bar." ~ Texas Historic Commission
