The Woelke-Stoffel House was designed by architects George Franklin Barber and Armstrong Davis Porter. It was built over 125 years ago! Today, the City of Anaheim owns this special house. It is now part of a place called Founders Park.
Founders Park: A Step Back in Time
Founders Park is like a living museum. It has a collection of old buildings that show what life was like long ago. The Woelke-Stoffel House is one of the main attractions there.
Besides the Woelke-Stoffel House, Founders Park has other cool things to see. You can find the Pioneer House of the Mother Colony. This house was built by George Hanson, who helped start the city of Anaheim.
The park also has a huge Moreton Bay Fig tree. This tree is a city landmark and was planted in 1876. There's also a large Carriage House, which is another building in the Queen Anne style. You can also explore a vegetable garden, a small orange grove, a Pump House, and a windmill.
