Where were the Apple Headquarters prior to 1993?

Hi all,

I have a question that I have failed to find the answer to. I'be been wondering about this for a while. Since it having been featured in the Pirates of Silicon Valley movie, I was trying to find further information on the old Apple Headquarters (before One Infinite Loop and Campus 2).

On Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Campus#History) it says that the old Apple Headquarters were located at the Mariani One building in Cupertino (http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&q=20525+Mariani+Ave,+Cupertino&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x808fb5b412fb7361:0x40f64df0f3a1edee,20525+Mariani+Ave,+Cupertino,+CA+95014&ei=wde4T5ndEuid0AXbw6zaBw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CBkQ8gEwAA). This building is still in use by Apple.

In the Pirates of Silicon Valley movie, shots of the construction of the Apple Headquarters are shown (not historic footage, of course) but it looks different to the Mariani One building. It may have undergone different construction works over the years, but It looks totally different to what it looks like in the film (minute 0:40:37 to 0:40:47; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L0IvI00AY4).

Does anyone have any more information on this?

Thanks.

I'd take what's written in the wiki over a movie, any day.

What does Steve's biography state the HQ was?

His garage.

Good point, I'll check the biography.

EDIT: It doesn't state the location of the Apple Headquarters in the biography.

Can I ask why you care?

I'm just interested. I'd like to see what it looked like. Also, I've become more interested since I can't seem to find much info online.

Apple Started in a Garage
Microsoft started in a Garage and some ****** rented motel rooms

No, I know that. What I want to know is where their headquarters lay in the 1980's. It just seems peculiar to me that there are pictures of the NeXT campus but not of the Apple campus from 1980 - 1990.

Search for Apple on this page, you'll find four images, three of which might be interesting. http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/svtour.html

I read the biography and if I recall correctly the headquarters were in Cupertino but as the company expanded they bought new land in the same city for the main headquarters

Thanks very much, great help!

The new office, located at 20863 Stevens Creek Boulevard, was called the "Good Earth" building, because it was adjacent to a Good Earth restaurant. In fact, the office used to be Apple's very first office in Cupertino, after they moved out of Steve Jobs' parents' house, and was later used as the first office of the Lisa project, when the Lisa team had fewer than ten employees.

From here.

Several posters have the address right. I just thought I'd add a pic.
