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

Google Garage is the garage attached to a house at 232 Santa Margarita in Menlo Park, California, rented by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and where Google's official history begins on 4 September 1998. Page and Brin wrote "Google's worldwide headquarters" on a whiteboard inside. Google bought the house in 2006 and keeps it unoccupied.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin rented this garage from neighbor Susan Wojcicki in 1998 to develop their search engine. From this modest start, one of the world's most influential technology companies emerged and grew into a global force.

The garage represents a Silicon Valley tradition of technology companies starting in residential spaces, reflecting how innovation took root in everyday neighborhoods. This practice shaped the region's identity as a technology hub where humble beginnings led to world-changing ventures.

The garage at 232 Santa Margarita Avenue is private property owned by Google and cannot be entered. Visitors come only to see the exterior of the house and garage from the street. In 2013 Google opened the garage to media for the company's 15th anniversary, but it remains closed to the public.

Page and Brin wrote "The World Headquarters of Google" on a whiteboard in the garage. The house was bought by Google in 2006 for about $1.5 million and kept unoccupied as a memorial; in 2013 the garage was opened to the media for Google's 15th anniversary.
