Steve Jobs Garage, Historic resource in Los Altos, United States.
The Steve Jobs Garage is a one-story house on Crist Drive in Los Altos, California, with white walls, red brick details, and a standard two-car garage. It sits in a residential neighborhood and looks much like the other homes along the same street.
The house was built in 1951 on what became 2066 Crist Drive; Paul and Clara Jobs moved in with Steve in 1968. Steve Wozniak later stated that no design work, assembly or investor meetings took place in the garage, which he said served mainly to make them feel at home. In 2013 the garage scenes of Joshua Michael Stern's film Jobs were shot here, and on 26 August 2013 Los Altos listed the house as a historic resource.
The house is a Los Altos Historic Resource, designated on 26 August 2013, the same year Joshua Michael Stern filmed the garage scenes of Jobs there with Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs. Steve Wozniak has disputed the garage-assembly story, saying no design or business meetings took place there and that the garage was little use beyond making them feel at home.
The house is private property and can only be seen from the street, where warning signs are posted near the entrance. Visitors should stay on the public sidewalk and keep noise to a minimum out of respect for the neighbors.
When Los Altos annexed the land from Santa Clara County in 1983, the street number changed from 11161 to 2066, which is why older records list a different address. Steve Jobs himself later admitted that much of the actual work happened in his bedroom rather than in the garage.
