Rosalie, Queensland

Rosalie is a former suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Since 1975, it has been a neighbourhood within the suburb of Paddington.[1]

## History[edit]

On Sunday 5 April 1884, a Baptist church opened in Rosalie, being described as a "neat little chapel" and was 20 by 20 feet (6.1 by 6.1 m).[2][3][4] On Saturday 7 November 1925, a new Baptist church was opened.[2][5][6]
