Apple CEO Steve Jobs is once again pursuing plans to demolish this dilapidated 17,000-square-foot 14-bedroom home in Woodside, Calif., to make room for a smaller, modern home on the same land.

And historic preservationists are once again opposing his plans, arguing the 1925 Spanish Colonial revival-style home built for copper mining magnate Daniel Jackling should be renovated or moved to another location.

On the heels of a marathon meeting Tuesday night on the matter before the Woodside Town Council, we offer these shots taken at the existing home in 2006 by "urban explorer" Jonathan Haeber. Haeber said he walked onto the grounds through an open gate. After taking a few exterior shots, he found broken windows and doors left wide open, he said.
