The simple farmhouse at Steinstrasse 8 forms an ensemble with the neighboring building. The oldest part of the house is documented as early as 1400 as "Eselschreis Hofstatt". The population register of 1827 described it as the "poorhouse" of Wiedikon, where numerous people lived "sometimes with much misery".

In 1987, the renovated building was inaugurated as a museum with two integrated apartments. The museum section has rooms with permanent exhibitions - household utensils, books, pictures, documents, furniture, crockery, finds, reliefs from and about Old Wiedikon - as well as rooms for temporary cultural-historical and artistic exhibitions.
