Roser Park

To quote the mayor’s web site: “Historic Roser Park was recognized by the City of St. Petersburg in 1987, as its first historic district. The neighborhood is charming. Meandering Booker Creek and beautiful Roser Park are at its center. The unique topography is an excellent setting for the diverse styles of architecture found in Historic Roser Park. Stately royal palms and regal old oaks are mixed in with a variety of lush tropical vegetation. Augusta brick streets and hex block sidewalks add to the historic feel of the district. The ancient rusticated block retaining walls are another period feature of the district.
