A handsome house that was built at a time when this area was outside the city, it is an interesting reminder of the former rural character of Goldenbridge. This area was developed as the century progressed due to its proximity to the Grand Canal to the south and city to the east. As the century progressed and the city expanded Goldenbridge developed a more suburb character. The red brick gate lodge was added when Tyrconnell Street was developed, marking the revised entrance to the house and its diminished grounds. Retaining much of its historic form and fabric including timber sliding sash windows and a handsome round-headed doorcase, Rosedale is a notable addition to the social and architectural heritage of the area.
