John Woelke House
Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience
The Woelke-Stoffel House is a beautiful two-story home in Anaheim, California. It was built in 1896 in a special style called Queen Anne, designed by architects George Franklin Barber and Armstrong Davis Porter. Today, the house is owned by the City of Anaheim and is part of Founders Park, a place where people can learn about history.
Founders Park has many old buildings, and the Woelke-Stoffel House is one of them. It works like a small museum, and people can visit for free on the third Saturday of every month. Because it is close to the Disneyland Resort, many tourists also come to see this old house.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 2013. Founders' Park also has other interesting sights, like the Pioneer House of the Mother Colony built by the city’s founder George Hanson, a very old Moreton Bay Fig tree from 1876, and other special buildings such as a Carriage House, vegetable garden, small orange grove, Pump House and windmill.
