NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETY ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1951 The House That Stanton Built By ANITA ROBERTSON Soon after the 1st World War the Hon. P. A. Stanton, founder of Seal Beach and Stanton, and Speaker of the House in the California state legislature, built the mansion just off Manchester Blvd., west of Anaheim, which is now known as "God's Orphanage." A few years later Phil Stanton died a comparatively poor man and over the mansion where Stanton had once entertained President Taft an intangible shroud of mystery hovered, increasing as each new tenant or prospective tenant left the town of Anaheim for various reasons. Through the years the huge, Spanish-style building had been involved in such shady affairs as an old age home, also run by a religious "no-profit" group that left town when things became too hot to stay around and at another time a gambling syndicate in Gardena made a bid to buy the mansion as an ideal spot to open-a "seven-card study poker" hall. The county refused the offer. New Era Starts About three years ago the Rev. Tilford T. Ward, his wife, Julia, and their group came to "The House of Stanton" and a new era started in its manifold history. The group, known as the Bethel Christian school, allegedly operated under the auspices of the Assembly of God church. This identification has been discredited by that church's officials who claim the above-mentioned organization is in no way connected with their church. Two Arrested for Drunken Driving Two Arrested for Drunken Driving; Pedestrian Hit Two persons were arrested on Anaheim streets for being drunk while driving and one pedestrian was injured when struck by a car during the past weekend, according to Anaheim police reports.
