Google at the moment (someone may take a screenshot for history) reports that that location is obliterated, likely for a new apple building.

IIRC in the US there are not many concerns to obliterate places for new ones.

According to Google maps this address is now the home of the new Apple Park building.

At the HP-35 time it was the home of the HP Advanced Products Department.

In addition, 16550 W. Bernardo Drive, San Diego, the later location of the calculator division and site of the 2007 and 2010 HHC conferences is now occupied by Northrop Grumman.

from the HP Computer Museum website:

The Advanced Products Department began its life with the 1972 introduction of the HP-35 handheld calculator (which had been developed at HP Labs). The HP-35 was the most exciting product ever introduced by HP. The APD was an immediate success and moved from 10900 Wolfe Road to a nearby leased building at 19310 Pruneridge Avenue where it experienced explosive growth. Although it was on the market for less than three quarters of the year, the HP-35 accounted for 41 percent of HP's profit in fiscal 1972 (with more than 50,000 units delivered). APD introduced the HP-80 business handheld calculator in January of 1973.

Couldn't find any picture of the building itself though.

Any one else feel a sense of irony that Steve Wozniak probably worked at the same address during his time with HP?

Advanced Products Department and Woz

If I remember my Apple iconography correctly, Woz's father counseled him not to leave a secure job at HP for a garage startup. How different our devices might be today if HP had built the machine Wozniak had offered the company. At least the manuals would be better!

woah, only an handful of houses are still standing.
