Steve Jobs' Childhood Home May Become Historical Site
The family home where a young Steve Jobs built the first Apple computer may soon become a protected historical site, reported CNN.
The seven-member Los Altos Historical Commission has scheduled a "historic property evaluation" for the single-story, ranch-style house on Monday, September 30. If the designation is ultimately approved, then the house on 2066 Crist Drive in Los Altos, California, will have to be preserved.
Jobs moved to the house with his foster parents as a 7th grader, and lived there through high school. In the attached garage, he and Steve Wozniak toiled to assemble the first 50 Apple 1 computers. The pair sold them to Paul Terrell's Byte Shop in Mountain View for US$ 500 each. Nine months later, in 1977, Apple Computer Co. was formally established and moved its operations to nearby Cupertino.
The living room, three-bedroom, two-bath house with 166.5 square meters total area was built in 1952 and is valued at US$ 1.5 million, according to real-estate website Zillow.
