Steve Jobs bought a 30-room California mansion in 1984; when it was torn down in 2011, workers saved its pipe organ and other fixtures
After Steve Jobs’s 2011 demolition of the historic Jackling House, its pipe organ, architectural details and other relics were salvaged.
Steve Jobs purchased a 30-room Spanish Colonial Revival mansion in Woodside, California in 1984, spending years fighting in court to tear it down. When the house was eventually demolished in 2011, workers salvaged various fixtures and features, including a pipe organ, fireplace mantels, and light fittings. The 17,000-square-foot mansion, designed by architect George Washington Smith for mining tycoon Daniel C. Jackling, featured a spacious courtyard, gardens, outdoor balconies, and a pipe organ integrated into the music room.
The organ was enlarged in 1938, boasting 3,816 pipes. After Jobs' death in October 2011, the remaining artifacts were either preserved by various groups or auctioned off.
