Pacific Press - 1948

 

 

The Pacific Press was Mountain View's first major industry not related to agriculture, it moved here in 1904 and remained until 1983. The press was a publishing plant for Seventh Day Adventist publications, and dozens of Seventh Day Adventist families built the majority of the homes in Old Mountain View near the plants location at Villa Street. 

 

This postcard shows the plant's auditorium building. Most buildings, including the auditorium were preserved  in its conversion to an office park in the 1980s.
