Intel's SC1 headquarters building in Santa Clara, California, in a photo from the early 1970s. It was the first site the company owned rather than rented (previously Intel had operated out of a leased building in Mountain View). The property was originally a pear orchard; after construction was completed, employees could pick pears on the undeveloped land until SC2 was built. (Credit: Intel Corporation)
This July will mark the 50th anniversary of Intel, which was founded by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore.
