Built in 1958 by the architectural firm Rochlin + Baran, it was known as the Fireside Manor Motor Hotel and Apartments.

The Fireside Manor was the first place my family lived in Los Angeles. We moved from San Jose at the beginning of August 1964. My father had taken a new job at Rexall Square, as VP in charge of insurance, and he had been living there for a month or so. We were there for several days as we waited for the moving van to arrive at our new home with all our stuff.
What I remember most about the experience was becoming acquainted with Engineer Bill and Sheriff John. That, and getting lost wandering around in the halls. It was a huge place for a five-year-old.
