This three-storey brick building on Tenth Street in Brandon was built in 1905 as home for the Brandon Sun daily newspaper. A rear addition, made in 1956, was occupied by the Sun Printing Company. In 1965, the newspaper moved to a renovated building on Rosser Avenue while the Printing Company remained here.
