Google was initially based out of a garage rented from Susan Wojcicki, along with three rooms inside her house on Santa Margarita Avenue in Menlo Park.
Wojcicki eventually became a Google employee and went on to be CEO of the company’s YouTube subsidiary. While the company moved to a bigger office at 165 University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto after five months, Google purchased the Menlo Park house in 2006 to preserve its history.
