When the plan for subdividing the north-side of the 6-acre Rosedale estate was pulled together, in the chaotic effort in the summer of 2002 to protect Rosedale’s lawns and preserve public access, the plan did not include a north-side access point.  This was not initially a problem, because for ten years the undeveloped lot to the east of the Farmhouse was accessible from Ordway Street, and its owner allowed neighbors to pass across it to enter Rosedale.  However, in 2013, the lot was sold and a home was built there.  From that time forward, access from Ordway ended.
