1984 wasn't just a landmark year for Apple, but it was also the year that Steve Jobs bought an aging mansion. Jobs lived in the house, originally built in the 1920s, for 10 years then rented it out. Since 2001, he's tried to get the mansion torn down to build a new home, saying that it was "
one of the biggest abominations of a house I've ever seen," but preservationists stopped him. He even tried to give it away in 2005, but that didn't succeed.
