Recorder-Sunset Press

Recorder-Sunset Press was a printing company in San Francisco whose offices and presses were located in the modernist Public Storage Building designed by architect and engineer Will P. Day at 99 South Van Ness Avenue (at Market St and South Van Ness).

From the 1930s onward, Recorder-Sunset Press operated as an alternative name for the older Recorder Printing and Publishing Co. While the multiple names make it difficult to pinpoint the company’s foundation, the Recorder’s first official publication was distributed in 1911 (Proceedings of the First Annual Convention of the California Bar Association, held in Los Angeles, California, December 6 and 7, 1910). It seems both names were used interchangeably for the company until it was finally dissolved in 1986.
