Rose Land Park Plat Historic District

The Rose Land Park Plat Historic District encompasses an early 20th-century neighborhood of East Providence, Rhode Island, most of which was built by a single development group. It is located on the west side of Willett Avenue (Rhode Island Route 103), on Florence Street, Princeton and Dartmouth Avenues, and Roseland Court. The 7-acre (2.8 ha) district includes 38 residential buildings, and was mostly built between 1928 and 1939 as a streetcar suburb of Providence by Severin Carlson and Carl Johnson. The houses are mainly wood-frame construction, and are stylistically English Revival, Colonial Revival, and traditional Cape Cod.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
