History
editThe 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
editThe 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]
