Henry C. Trost House, Prairie School residence in El Paso, United States.

The Henry C. Trost House is a Prairie School residence in El Paso featuring horizontal lines, flat roofs with broad eaves, and natural materials that blend into the landscape. The two-story structure integrates subtly into its surroundings through balanced proportions and an open interior layout.

Built between 1908 and 1909, the residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 for its architectural importance. It emerged during a period when the Prairie School movement was reshaping American residential design.

The interior showcases stained glass windows and custom-made furnishings that reflect early 1900s living ideals. These design choices tell the story of a home conceived as a complete artistic work from the ground up.

The house stands in El Paso, Texas, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 12, 1976. It is a private single-family home, so visitors should view it from the street rather than expect interior access.

Trost designed the house for himself and shared it with two brothers and a sister, a household of four siblings. The property later passed to the Grossbeck family in 1948 and was eventually acquired by Robert McGregor, who teaches at El Paso Community College. It was listed on the National Register on July 12, 1976.
