“This lot was in pure view—every morning, every night,” Carlotta Stahl recalled. Locals called it Pecker Point, presumably because it was a prime makeout venue. For the Stahls, it became the blank screen on which they projected their dreams of a life together, a place to build a future, a family, and a house like no other. In 1945, these visionary women gathered 50 like-minded friends, carefully selected from a diverse array of influential black women.

Over the years, the Wilfandel Club has been the backdrop for farewell parties, elaborate weddings, baby showers, birthday celebrations, and events led by Civil Rights and political leaders. Artists, authors, and musicians have graced our stage, contributing to the club's success. Rental revenue not only paid off the mortgage within the first decade but also funded philanthropic endeavors, including the annual Fannie Williams Scholarship. Fueled by passion, the Wilfandel Club achieved a significant milestone in 1948 by acquiring the Percy H. Clark stately 1912 Renaissance Revival Style mansion in the West Adams District of Los Angeles. Transformed into the Wilfandel Clubhouse, this mansion, adorned with lush landscapes, symbolizes inclusivityand serves as a distinctive safe space for social, civic, and community activities. Collaborating with Paul Williams, the members converted this residential gem into the place to be and be seen in Black Los Angeles.

What Buck and Carlotta Stahl got when they drove up to Woods Drive in 1954 was more than they ever envisioned. In March 1954, Clarence “Buck” Stahl and Carlotta May Gates drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and got married in a chapel. They each worked in aviation (Buck in sales, Carlotta as a receptionist), had previous marriages, and were strapping, tall, and extremely good looking—California Apollonians out of central casting. Back home in L.A., as the newlyweds pondered their future, they became preoccupied with a promontory of land jutting out like the prow of a ship from Woods Drive in the Hollywood Hills, about 125 feet above Sunset Boulevard. It was as conspicuous as it was forbidding, visible from the couple’s house on nearby Hillside Avenue.
Treehouse TV also aired this show in reruns from 1999 to December 2005. The show revolves around Wimzie, a 5-year-old bird-dragon monster girl, who attends a daycare in her house run by her grandmother, a bird named Yaya, since her parents, Rousso (a dragon fireman) and Graziella (an airline pilot bird-like monster) work full-time. The other kids are Jonas (a nerdy goblin), Horace (a dimwitted troll), Bo (Wimzie’s little brother; a dragon like Rousso), and Loulou (Jonas’ hyperactive little sister). She also has a grandmother named Yaya (a bird-like monster like Graziella). Each show revolves around the kids facing a moral or social dilemma and learning how to deal with it. Journey back to the 1940s, where Los Angeles grappled with the pervasive impact of Jim Crow laws, casting a shadow that restricted people of color from esteemed venues.

She isn’t very in control of herself and doesn’t look before she leaps. Regardless, she is a good kid at heart and loves to play with her friends. She has yellow-orange skin, purple hair tied in pigtails with baby blue bows, and red wing-like antlers on top of her head. Wimzie wears a blue and purple striped t-shirt with a sleeveless orange polka dot vest on top of it, purple shorts and purple sneakers.
United by a commitment to collaborative efforts and teamwork, they gave birth to the Wilfandel Club in 1947. A confidential settlement allowed CINAR to continue broadcasting the series, selling show merchandise, and a "mechanism for preserving the distinctive look of Jim Henson's Muppets in CINAR's future productions." Welcome to the Wilfandel Club, a non-profit African American women’s organization committed to overseeing the WilfandelClubhouse. Our mission is rooted in civic betterment, philanthropic endeavors, and the promotion of general culture. Every dollar raised is dedicated to funding activities that uplift and empower our community.
This usually resulted in a problem and two songs that would eventually lead to the moral of the episode. There were some friends and neighbors mentioned, but they never made a real physical appearance. The show was about a 5 year old dragon-bird girl named Wimzie whose parents worked all day, so her grandma Yaya ran a mini daycare center. The charges of the daycare are Wimzie, her 18 month old brother Bo, a 5 year old goblin named Jonas who loves science, his 3 year old sister Loulou who loves to be with the bigger kids, and a 4 year old ogre named Horace who isn't very bright. Help us share the Eameses’ joy and rigor with future visitors, so they mayhave a direct experience of Charles and Ray’s approach to life and work. “When I built in steel, what you saw was what you got,” the plain-spoken Koenig once said.
About two months after their dash to Las Vegas, the Stahls decided to drive up to this mystery spot and have a look around. They found themselves gawping at the entirety of Los Angeles spread out below in a grid that went on for an eternity or two. In the kismet-filled conversation that followed, Buck agreed to buy the barren one-eighth-acre lot for $13,500, with $100 down and the seller maintaining the mortgage until the Stahls paid it off. On that site, they would construct Case Study House #22, designed by Pierre Koenig, arguably the most famous of all the houses in the famous Case Study program that Arts & Architecture magazine initiated in 1945. For generations of pilgrims, gawkers, architecture students, and midcentury-modern aficionados, it would be known simply as the Stahl House. The series was produced by Cinar (later Cookie Jar Entertainment, now part of WildBrain), with the PBS telecasts presented by Maryland Public Television from 1997 to 2001.
In this challenging landscape, two extraordinary women, Fannie Williams, a visionary entrepreneur and esteemed community leader, and Della Williams, a philanthropist and wife of renowned architect Paul R. Williams, fearlessly embarked on a mission. Together, they dreamed of creating a haven—a clubhouse where people of color could gather to celebrate joyous occasions and monumental milestones. Wimzie is a little girl monster who lives with her parents (Rousso & Graziella), grandma (Yaya), and baby brother (Bo). The basic plot was that Wimzie's friends would always come over for the day and they would play together.
