Steve Jobs In 1984, he purchased a house in Woodside, California, where he spent a decade of his life. He had planned to demolish the house and build a completely new one in its place that would meet his expectations, but due to legal wrangling, the deal was shelved.oneThe actual demolition took place shortly before Jobs' death.
The authorities initially refused to allow the demolition of the house because local preservationists wanted to preserve its Spanish colonial style from 1925, when the mansion was built. The original owner of the property was a mining magnate. When Jobs did not receive a demolition permit in time, he impatiently left the house, and over time it began to deteriorate due to neglect and the effects of nature. The house, with 30 rooms, 14 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, had been completely empty since 2000. When the demolition permit was issued in 2010,oneBy the time the decision came, it was too late. The house was finally demolished in February 2011.
The equipment of the house was forfeited to the city after the demolition. Among the roughly 150 items now going up for auction, there are no items that have a direct connection to the company Apple. There is, for example, a toilet, an original marble sink, antique lamps, chandeliers, but also an original mailbox, parts of the fireplace and its accessories, tiles and crockery, including silver. The total cost of all the items was estimated at $30.
