The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

In 1925, in the years the auto age reached every town around Detroit, Rosedale Gardens Historic District opened in Livonia.

The National Register of Historic Places listed it in 2010.

Go see it at Arden St. to Hubbard St. between Plymouth Rd. and West Chicago St. Photos never get the scale right.

The Rosedale Gardens Historic District (locally known as Old Rosedale Gardens) 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.
