2066 Crist Drive, the home where Steve Jobs grew up, in Los Altos, California.
Los Angeles:
Steve Jobs' humble boyhood home in Silicon Valley where the first iconic Apple computers were built has now been designated a historic landmark.
The one-story home in California was added to a list of historic Los Altos properties this week. The Los Altos Historical Commission voted unanimously to designate the home at 2066 Crist Drive a "historic resource" due to its association with Jobs.
The house was also designated to place it on the city's historic resources inventory, 'San Jose Mercury News' reported.
Jobs built the first 100 Apple 1 computers at the Crist Drive home with help from Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Patricia Jobs.
According to the evaluation, the first 50 were sold to Paul Terrell's Byte Shop in Mountain View for US $500 each, according to the evaluation. The rest were assembled for their friends in the Homebrew Computer Club.
The home is also where Jobs courted some of his first investors, including Chuck Peddle of Commodore Computer and Don Valentine of Sequoia Capital.
"These significant events took place at the subject property," Commissioner Sapna Marfatia wrote in the evaluation.
Jobs died in October, 2011 at the age of 56 after battling pancreatic cancer for several years.
