My first job out of college in 1997 was with Sun working in this building. It was known then as PAL01 and served as the company headquarters while I was there. (I once ran into Scott McNealy in the bathroom.)

I am shocked to see these pictures and the state of the building. My memories of it were that it was always clean and bright. It also had the best food of all the Sun cafeterias. Several of the pictures show the remains of the customer "showroom" datacenter. It was the most organized and clean datacenter I ever saw. No more.

When this building closed, the rumors were that it was donated to the city of Palo Alto. I am not sure if this is true or not.
