We rented the Byte Shop building as an office from 2013-2016.
After the Byte Shop left the space, it became what Steve Jobs affectionately referred to as an "adult bookstore" for the next thirty or so years until we leased it for a massive discount; the landlords had forgotten the history and could not fathom why anyone would want the space given its most recent sordid occupant.
We kept an Apple // in the window and even hosted an open house. Sadly I suspect its days are numbered as nearly all the buildings around it have been redeveloped (including the infamous Frankie, Johnnie and Luigi Too restaurant where Jobs bribed engineers with pineapple pizza).
I mean, when you've got https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Park down the street, redevelopment should happen. If California hadn't been so construction-adverse then Sunnyvale would have been a solid block of hundred story-tall buildings decades ago.
