One of the few Art Nouveau buildings in the country, it was constructed in two stages in 1912 and 1921 as a summer residence. After years of abandonment, the building was converted into a nursing home for the elderly in 2010. HistoryVilla Roseville was built as the summer residence of Dr. Walter Briffa. The ground floor was built in 1912 to designs of the Italian architect Alessandro Manara. The first floor was added nine years later in 1921, to designs of the Maltese architect Emanuele Borg. Although the floors were built years apart from each other by different architects, both phases of construction used the same Art Nouveau style.[1] Briffa's family lived in the house until the 1970s, and the building was briefly used as an examination centre for the Royal School of Music. Following the death of Briffa's unmarried daughters, the villa was abandoned and it fell into a state of dilapidation.[1] Despite this, the building was scheduled and gave it protection by law.[2] The building was eventually restored in 2009[4] in order to be converted into a nursing home for the elderly run by CareMalta.[1][3] The home was inaugurated by Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi on 4 June 2010.[4] The building is scheduled as a Grade 2 national monument,[5] and it is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.[6] ArchitectureThe Art Nouveau house consists of two floors, with a façade divided into three bays. The ground floor consists of an arched doorway flanked by an arched window on either side, and the first floor includes a pointed arched window above the door, which is again flanked by arched windows. The arched windows at ground floor level are subdivided into three elongated windows, and those at the first floor are divided into two.[6] Decorative floral motifs which echo French or North Italian Art Nouveau can be found in recessed panels above the windows. The recessed panels are painted in red and the motifs in other colours, making Roseville one of the few polychrome buildings in Malta.[5] The house's interior includes Egyptian-style decoration which was fashionable at the time.[7] Its boundary wall contains decorative ironwork.[6] Roseville is a unique building in Malta, and it is one of the few Art Nouveau buildings on the island.[8] The house retains its original architectural fabric and decorations, as well as its fittings and fixtures.[5] Alleged hauntingPrior to Roseville's restoration and conversion into a nursing home, the house was said to have been cursed or haunted. In the early 1930s, a young girl who lived in the house allegedly died of mysterious circumstances and her mother died within a year. The house was then reportedly sold to a person who died soon afterwards. After some relatives moved in some years later, the eldest son of the family died at war, and another child, the father and the mother died soon afterwards.[7] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Hughes|first1=Quentin|last2=Thake|first2=Conrad|title=Malta, War & Peace: An Architectural Chronicle 1800–2000|date=2005|publisher=Midsea Books Ltd|isbn=9789993270553|page=143}} 2. ^https://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20060622/local/only-four-of-17-scheduled-properties-are-in-good-shape.50011 3. ^{{cite web|title=Roseville|url=http://www.caremalta.com/private-homes/roseville/|website=CareMalta|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171113164219/http://www.caremalta.com/private-homes/roseville/|archivedate=13 November 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Residential home for the elderly inaugurated in Attard|url=https://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100604/local/residential-home-for-the-elderly-inaugurated-in-attard.310554|work=Times of Malta|date=4 June 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150324050722/http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100604/local/residential-home-for-the-elderly-inaugurated-in-attard.310554|archivedate=24 March 2015}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|title=Roseville, Triq Sant' Anton, Attard|url=https://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090604/opinion/roseville-triq-sant-anton-attard.259649|work=Times of Malta|date=4 June 2009|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518024936/http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090604/opinion/roseville-triq-sant-anton-attard.259649|archivedate=18 May 2015}} 6. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|title=Rose Ville|url=http://www.culturalheritage.gov.mt/filebank/inventory/01151.pdf|website=National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170905010540/http://www.culturalheritage.gov.mt/filebank/inventory/01151.pdf|archivedate=5 September 2017|date=28 December 2012}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|title=RoseVille Attard|url=http://users.waldonet.net.mt/fournier/Roseville.htm|website=Sant Fournier|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171113193218/http://users.waldonet.net.mt/fournier/Roseville.htm|archivedate=13 November 2017}} 8. ^{{cite book|last1=Muscat|first1=Mark Geoffrey|title=Maltese Architecture 1900–1970: Progress and Innovations|date=2016|publisher=Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti|location=Valletta|isbn=9789990932065|pages=4–6}} External links{{commons category inline|Villa Roseville}} 11 : Attard|Villas in Malta|Art Nouveau houses|Art Nouveau architecture in Malta|Houses completed in 1912|Houses completed in 1921|1912 establishments in Malta|Limestone buildings in Malta|Nursing homes|National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands|Reportedly haunted locations in Malta |
