The William H. Rose House at 874 Virginia Park Street, originally addressed as 220 Virginia Park, was featured in the Detroit Free Press in 1913 for its distinctive design and color scheme. Designed by MacFarlane, Maul & Lentz, the Colonial Revival-style residence featured a stucco exterior over hollow tile, green blinds, and a green shingle roof accented with red brick. The interior included a Colonial-style staircase, polished hardwood and stained oak woodwork, a spacious living room with a French-glass rear porch, four second-floor bedrooms, and an attic designed as a children's playroom. The article praised the home's abundant natural light and carefully planned layout.
