The Rosedale Gardens Historic District is a historic district located on eight streets, from Arden Street to Hubbard Street, between Plymouth Road and West Chicago Street in Livonia, Michigan. The district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

History[edit]

Rosedale Gardens was platted by the Shelden Land Company in the 1920s.[2] The company modeled the development on Rosedale Park in Detroit. The first houses in Rosedale Gardens were built in 1925. These houses were wood structures. When the Great Depression hit, construction stopped for a time; the developer bricked over existing homes, and continued with brick construction when building resumed later in the 1930s.[2]
