Google Garage, Technology birthplace garage in Menlo Park, California.

The residential garage features a blue side door, containing vintage computer equipment and workhorse tables where Google's initial development occurred.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin rented this garage from Susan Wojcicki for $1,700 monthly in 1998 while developing their revolutionary search engine.

The garage represents Silicon Valley's tradition of technology companies starting in residential spaces, following the path of Hewlett-Packard and Apple.

While the physical location remains private property, visitors can experience a virtual tour through Google Maps showing the original 1998 setup.

The workspace contained unexpected items including a ping pong table, a surf-frog terrarium, and a keyboard for musical breaks during coding sessions.
