Hewlett Packard Garage
- Technology history
- Regional draw
- Palo Alto
The Hewlett Packard Garage on Addison Avenue in Palo Alto marks the early working setting of the company’s founders.
The modest residential property offers a tangible connection with the beginnings of an important part of Silicon Valley’s technology history.
This is a private property, not a public walk-through museum. Plan only a brief exterior view from the public sidewalk, follow current signs and keep neighboring driveways clear. The photographed house and garage setting should not be taken as an invitation to enter. Respect the quiet residential neighborhood and the privacy of people living nearby.
