Rose Park is a suburb with a population of 1,374[2] in the South Australian capital city of Adelaide. It is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) east of Adelaide's central business district. Rose Park is a leafy, tree-lined and wealthy inner suburb containing a number of historical and contemporary attractions. Much of the area's 19th-century housing stock has been recognised with heritage protection.

Part of the Burnside Council, it is bounded to the north by Kensington Road, to the east by Prescott Terrace, to the south by Dulwich Avenue and to the west by Fullarton Road. The area is mainly residential in nature, with commercial buildings along Fullarton Road, Kensington Road, and Dulwich Avenue. This places it on the very edge of the Adelaide Park Lands, bordering Victoria Park.

History

Laid out in 1878 on part section 262, Hundred of Adelaide by the South Australia Company. Named after Sir John Rose, chairman of the company for fourteen years in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Rose Park Post Office opened on 1 October 1946 but was renamed Norwood South in 1966.[3]

Heritage-listed buildings

Gartrell Memorial Church, February 1923

The Gartrell Memorial Church, located on Prescott Terrace between Alexandra and Grant Avenues,[4] was designed in 1914 by architect Herbert Jory in the Gothic Revival style when he was in the architectural practice of Woods, Bagot & Jory, and built as a Methodist church in 1915. Jory also designed the Gartrell Memorial Schoolroom.[5] The church and its hall were state heritage-listed in November 1989, with the hall estimated to be built at a later date, probably c.1925.[6]

The church was named after James Gartrell, who was a parishioner and benefactor.[7] He paid for the pipe organ and contributed generously to its building.[8]
