A founder of software colossus Microsoft has purchased the
Albuquerque
building where the company had its first office,

transaction
said Tuesday.
A company controlled by Paul G. Allen in October purchased the
26,000-square-foot building at the intersection of California and Linn
NE,
said Peggy Daskalos, whose company sold the building.
Allen teamed up
with
Bill Gates in 1975 to start what became Microsoft.
