Cool! 

 

It can be properly argued that Shockley's lab where the integrated circuit
was invented in 1957 is ground zero for the silicon revolution.  But even
before that, an important local landmark which caused Sunnyvale, Palo Alto
and Mountain View to be tech magnets was Moffett Field Hangar 1.  

 

The skin had PCBs, so they tore that off, so it is a big metal skeleton.
Today we learned that Google is going to restore it to its historical
appearance.

I am really glad someone stepped up to save that structure.  It provides the
biggest indoor open space you will see anywhere.
