HP Garage

HP Garage (California Historical Landmark No.976 – Birthplace of Silicon Valley. 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, California)
Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined residential street near Stanford University, the HP Garage stands today as the enduring symbol of innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit.
It was in this humble 12×18-foot building that college friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard pursued the dream of a company of their own. Guided by an unwavering desire to develop innovative and useful products, the two men blazed a trail at the forefront of the electronics revolution.
