the jackling mansion
from steve jobs posted in technology by pete_nice
Built in the early 1900s for copper magnate Daniel Jackling, Steve Jobs bought this mansion in 1984. An enormous house with 14 rooms, Jobs intention was always to tear the building down. It took until March 2010 to get approval from a California court to get approval to demolish the property, which was done in February 2011.
According to reports, even though Jobs lived in it for ten years, he kept it virtually unfurnished. He once hosted a dinner for President Clinton here in 1996. He was rewarded with a stay in the Lincoln bedroom of the White House.
