The GTE Sylvania “bubble” was one of Mountain View’s most unusual landmarks. The company built the nylon-inflated structure at the corner of Central Expressway and Ferguson Drive in 1963 as an antenna-testing facility. In the mid-1990s, the Whisman Station neighborhood replaced most of the fifty-five-acre GTE Sylvania campus, including the bubble. (Courtesy of Mountain View Public Library.)
