[conspire] Big estates

[Texx]

There was also the spanish revival style Jacklin Etsate in Woodside.
Besides the grounds, there was the music building, complete with an Aolian
Skinner pipe organ and a roller player for it.

It eventually came up for sale and into Steve Jobs hands.
His plans were to level the site and build a japanese style mansion on the
site.
When thwarted by the landmark comission, he removed the doors and windown
and allowed the weather to destroy the building.
I believe he finally got permission to demolish the ruin that he created.
