Demolition of Steve Jobs Mansion Blocked

A San Mateo County Superior Court judge has tentatively ruled that the town improperly granted Jobs a demolition permit last year for "The Jackling House," which was designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style for Utah Copper Co. magnate Daniel Jackling.

Jobs bought the house in 1984 but hasn't lived there for a decade, saying he wants to tear down the home and build a new, smaller unit on the property that would be more appropriate for his family.

Liberal vs. liberal. This ought to be interesting.
