The Sunset Telephone Company, a subsidiary of the Bell Telephone conglomerate, began service in Seattle, WA, by 1884. Growing steadily since that time, it maintained call exchange centers to serve various neighborhoods of the developing city. It owned an exchange building at 4206 Aurora Avenue according to Polk's Seattle City Directory of 1906. By 1916, Bell had merged Sunset's West Coast local and long distance operations with those of its Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company subsidiary under the Pacific name. This exchange building was one of 10 branch exchanges the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company operated in Seattle in 1915, and 12 by 1919.
