This is similar to the Painted Ladies you see in San Francisco and older homes in certain parts of Seattle. Unfortunately because of Covid there are no interior tours but you can still see the outside and get an idea of how a wealthy person lived back then. The building itself has distinct features for the American Queen Anne style including asymmetric facade, cylindrical tower, and decorative overhanging eaves over a large wrap-around porch. Tiling and shingling work is impressive and though this style isn't something I really like I can appreciate the design of it. Cool random fishscale tiles on the tower somehow work very well. Hilariously at night it does look kind of creepy and its right in back of Anaheim High School, a lot of my friends in this area used to tell me all about the Witches House or the old Haunted House. 4 stars because you cannot go inside at this time so you only get half of the picture.

Today I had the pleasure of visiting the Woelke-Stoffel House built in 1894, named after two of…read moreit's owners, John Gottlieb Woelke and Peter Stoffel, this home is one of the most beautiful Queen Anne designs in architecture that Anaheim has ever seen.  The home was designed by architect, George Franklin Barber, and the building of it was overseen by contractor, Armstrong Davis Porter in 1896. The Woelke family lived in the home for several years before moving to Los Angeles in 1899 and purchasing the Hotel Argyle. In 1899, when John had left Anaheim, he sold the home to Isaac Lyons, a native of England who came to California in 1862. Lyons lived in the home with his family from 1899 to 1904 when he sold the house to another family, the Michod's. They lived in the home from 1904 to 1907 and then sold the home to another family, Olmstead's. This family would only live there for less than a year before Peter Stoffel and his family would buy it, and make this house their home in 1907. Peter Stoffel lived the rest of his life in the home. It wasn't until Peter's wife died, that the family estate sold the property to John Dwyer when the city had planned to demolish it.  Tours are FREE every first Saturday of the month, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. The docents were very friendly and knowledgeable. Donations accepted.

I wish there were more Asian food options. My hubby ordered from the bbq place upstairs called Encultura. His burger and fries were $30, however, it is Wagyu beef and it had brisket it in. It was absolutely delicious! 5/5! I ordered a fish and chips from Chippy. It was reasonably priced, but lots of grease was on my plate. I give it a 3/5. I also ordered a Michelada from The Iron Press. They used their own pickled beer. I know that sounds disgusting but surprisingly it was so good! It is definitely a must try if you like Micheladas! 5/5! We came on Father's Day and they were playing live music and it wasn't too busy which was nice. But we drove an hour and a half to come here and I don't think the food options offered was worth the hour and a half drive.

The Cinema is known for it's screening of Steamboat Willie from 1928, the very first synchronized sound cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse! There are some benches that you can sit inside and watch the films. It's also air conditioned if you're looking to take a break during the summer!

Though it's just a short stretch, Historic Main Street is one of the key historical landmarks in…read moreGarden Grove. In the 19th century, many people were migrating to the Midwest and Western U.S., and Garden Grove was one of the cities established by these settlers. Originally an agricultural community, Garden Grove was known for its orange and stone fruit farms (which is why early homes always had orange trees in the backyard). Main Street was the hub for community gatherings, which led to the development of surrounding services like post offices, churches, and local shops. In 1905, the introduction of the Pacific Electric Railway boosted the transportation of agricultural products from Garden Grove, making it easier for farmers to ship their goods. By the 1950s, with the rise of highways and suburbanization, local businesses began moving to larger shopping malls and newly developed towns, leaving Main Street's glory days behind. However, after 1980, there was a greater focus on historical preservation, and the city of Garden Grove invested resources to restore and maintain these original buildings. Today, many of these old structures have been given new life, housing restaurants, cafés, and thrift stores. The area also hosts annual events like car shows, concerts, and festivals, which help promote local culture and keep the economy thriving. Garden Grove is also one of the primary destinations for Asian immigrants in Orange County. The city has a diverse population, with about 42% Asian, 17% White, 15% Hispanic (White), and 14% Hispanic. Around 44% of the residents are naturalized U.S. citizens who were born outside the U.S. On weekdays, the street is pretty quiet, with most people hanging out inside the cafés. I took a walk around and came across the quirky Elvis-themed Mexican restaurant, Azteca Restaurant & Lounge, the popular Vietnamese coffee shop Phin Smith, another Vietnamese café called Phuc Long Coffee and Tea, and a thrift store that, to my surprise, sells wedding dresses and formal gowns! It was a fun and relaxed afternoon. Garden Grove Historic Main Street Free parking.

Yet it is so scenic with lakes, trees, bridges, greenery, and even duckies. I saw few people fishing, some exercising, and most just strolling and enjoying the scenery. Wanted to keep this place as my little secret place, but was too beautiful not to share with Yelp.

I enjoyed the greenery thoughout this park and the mini waterfalls by the lake area. There's also some short stairs here, if you'd like to work up on some cardio. There's like two main parking lots here, at least that's what I saw. I did see some homeless just resting on the grass area by the lake and street side.
