History

The house was built in 1892 for Erick A. Trosdahl, an immigrant from Norway. [2] Trosdahl emigrated to the United States in 1888, and he lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Missoula, Montana until 1891, when he moved to Hamilton. [3] A carpenter by trade, he built many houses in Hamilton. [2] Trosdahl played an active role in Hamilton politics, and he was elected to serve on the Hamilton City Council in 1902–1904. [2] He died in 1932. [3]

Next to the main house, Trosdahl built a barn circa 1896. That building had fallen "in a state of disrepair" by the 1980s, when the house belonged to the Hochstetler family. [2]

Architectural significance

The house was designed in the Gothic and Queen Anne architectural styles. [2] Given Trosdahl's role in building many houses in Hamilton, this house is representative of his work in Hamilton. [2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 26, 1988. [1]
