The Los Altos home where Steve Jobs first began building computers may be turned into a protected historical site, reports CNN. Located on 2066 Crist Drive in Los Altos, California, the house was first inhabited by Jobs and his family after they moved to the area when he was in seventh grade.
In the garage attached to the house, Jobs and Steve Wozniak famously assembled the first Apple 1 computers, nine months before the Apple Computer Co. was formed.
The Los Altos Historical Commission is set to conduct a “historic property evaluation” on Monday, which could see the house preserved indefinitely upon approval.
Another piece of Steve Jobs memorabilia was unearthed over the weekend, with the unearthing of the “Aspen Time Tube,” a time capsule that Steve Jobs contributed to during the 1983 International Design Conference.
Jobs donated a Lisa computer mouse used during a famous presentation to the tube, which was lost for several years after landscaping obscured the area where it was buried. In addition to Jobs’ mouse, the capsule also included a six-pack of beer, a Rubik’s cube, and a Moody Blues recording.
