Built in 1894 by John Woelke, the Woelke-Stoffel house is one of the oldest Queen Anne style homes in Anaheim. The home later became part of a successful citrus ranch after it was purchased by the Stoffel Family in 1907. The house has been from its original location and now stands in Founder's Park, along with the Mother Colony House. Nearly all the rooms in the house are open for display, and the house is fully decorated in antique furnishings and treasures. A small gift shop is available on the second floor. The house opens seasonally to the public, with festive Christmas Victorian exhibits in December. (Founder's Park)
