The Lane family posed at the Sunset headquarters on Willow Road in Menlo Park in this undated photo.

Brothers Mel, left, and Bill flank their parents, Ruth Bell and Laurence Lane, who purchased the magazine in 1928.

Sunset moved its headquarters from San Francisco to Menlo Park in the early 1950s, and the campus was rebuilt and dedicated in 1964, according to “Menlo Park: Beyond the Gate,” a history book by Michael Svanevik and Shirley Burgett.

Sunset was sold to Time Warner in 1990. Time Inc. has just revealed that it is considering selling the property.
