The Trapp Filling Station, at 252-256 W. Capitol Drive in Hartland, Wisconsin, was built in 1922. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1][2]
Originally, the structure was built and used as a house. It was located on the major highway into Hartland, though, and in the 1920s Cornelius Trapp began to operate it as a filling station. Apparently "its location was obviously not prominent enough to succeed in sales. The site was soon used by others, twice as a grocery store by the Elmer Hornburg family and the Ferdi Dombroski family. More recently it has seen use as a handcraft outlet store and a health food market. Members of the Trapp family remained residents of the upper residential areas even when changing commercial agents operated out of the lower area."[3]
