Trapp Homestead, Historic masonry house in Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida.

The Trapp Homestead is a house at 2521 South Bayshore Drive in Coconut Grove, Miami, built in 1887 from oolitic limestone quarried locally by Caleb Trapp and his son Harlan. The Trapps lived in a thatched hut on the front of the property while they built it. It is believed to be the oldest standing masonry home in Miami-Dade County.

Caleb Trapp, then 70, and his son Harlan built the house in 1887 from oolitic limestone quarried on the property, living in a thatched hut at the front while working. It is believed to be the oldest standing masonry home in Miami-Dade County and predates the City of Miami's incorporation. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 10, 1994.

The Trapp family gave the homestead its name in local use: Trapp Avenue, a few blocks away, honours them. Caleb Trapp was one of the fourteen founding members of the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, and his wife is believed to have given the first teachers' test for the local public school at the estate. In 1887 or 1888 a school taught by Harlan Trapp opened in Lemon City.

The house sits along South Bayshore Drive and can be viewed from the street at the corner with Tigertail Avenue. Plan your visit during quieter hours to better observe the details of the stone construction and surrounding landscape.

Caleb Trapp was 70 when he quarried the oolitic lime for the house himself, with his son Harlan, and the family lived in a thatched hut at the front of the lot while building. The Trapps also grew and milled coontie starch for local sale, and Trapp Avenue a few blocks away carries the family name.
