As a kid growing up playing Sierra games in the late 80's and early 90's, Sierra and whatever related to it are forever etched in my nostalgic heart.

From online discussions, I think I got the view from Google street view as the following : Google Map (But not sure).

Address supposed to be 48677 Victoria Ln, Oakhurst, CA.

The building looks similar, but not sure, and can't get a closer look.

Any oldtimer Vogoners living near that area or will pass by the HQ anytime in the future?

If yes, please take some pics for us from next to the building.

I wonder what happened to that building, how's the condition and who took over it now...

Thank you.

I'm 2+ months late to reply but I just came across your post. I went to Yosemite over the weekend and stayed in Oakhurst. I too have fond and nostalgic memories playing Sierra games as a kid in the 90's. While on my trip, I decided to visit the old HQ since I was in the area and snapped a few photos. Google Street View only shows the back side of the building from Victoria Ln and it's partially covered by some trees.

Here's what the building looks like today from the front, as of May 2024. It's in good shape and currently occupied by Adventist Health. The building looks structurally different like it might have been altered slightly with the added column next to the entrance, but it's still similar to the way it was before.

Sorry I edited the post and replaced the photos but didn't realize I accidentally deleted them. Added them back!

I assume that extension contains an elevator for wheelchair access to the upper level.

Is this too much voodoo?
