Features chapters on the subdivision plans of 1854-1910, the Jarvis family, a who's who of Rosedale's first century, the origins of street names, the first landowners, early estates, Rosedale's architects, and such well-known properties as Rosedale House, Drumsnab, Chestnut Park, Caverhill, Idlewold, The Dale, Lorne Hall, Denbrae, Hollydene, Thom House, Guiseley House and North Rosedale.
