Hidden behind brick for nearly 70 years.
During renovations in downtown Cincinnati, workers removed a plain 1950s brick façade and uncovered the original late-19th-century architecture beneath it — ornate stonework, tall openings, and decorative details that had been sealed away for decades.
In 1985, Great America announced 'The Grizzly' on its iconic sign that used to exist right next to Highway 101.
It officially opened in 1986 and Bay Area chiropractors have never had a slow season since.
The original Adobe headquarters. Mountain View, 1989.
In 1982, John Warnock and Charles Geschke were two computer scientists at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center. While there, they developed a page description language called Interpress, which could precisely control the layout and printing of text and images. When Xerox declined to commercialize the technology, Warnock and Geschke left to start their own company.
They named their new company Adobe after Adobe Creek, a small stream behind Warnock’s home in Los Altos.
Try this. Go to Google Maps, type in “Adobe Creek, Palo Alto,” and follow it from beginning to end. It’s pretty neat to see just where it is and then realize that this exact little creek is what Adobe was actually named after. It’s right there in Palo Alto.
After starting in a small office, Adobe’s first official headquarters was located at 1585 Charleston Road in Mountain View, just across the street from where the Googleplex is. This remained their main office space until they eventually relocated to San Jose, where their headquarters remains today.
Today, Google occupies the old Adobe HQ, and on Google Maps, the building’s exterior still seems unchanged, at least for the most part.
