Trossel's House is the Trostle farm on the Emmitsburg Road, a short distance south of the Wheatfield, and it stood in the middle of the fighting on the afternoon of July 2, 1863. Union artillery and infantry held ground around the farm as Confederate attacks pressed past it, and the buildings suffered in the process. Photographers working for Alexander Gardner visited the battlefield in the months after the battle to document such sites, so views like this one show the landscape as the armies left it, with the damage still visible.
