Casa de Rosas, Mission Revival educational complex in West Adams, Los Angeles, United States.

Casa de Rosas is a four-building complex in West Adams, Los Angeles, designed by Sumner P. Hunt and built in 1893. The main house shows Mission Revival features such as arched openings and decorative tile work, with three smaller structures at the rear that originally supported educational and residential functions. The complex was restored in a project that turned the buildings into 37 residential units.

The main building was designed in 1893 by architect Sumner Hunt to house an experimental kindergarten based on Froebel methods. It later became a preparatory school for girls, serving the community through changing times.

Casa de Rosas takes its name from the Sunshine Mission era, when it sheltered homeless women; the site is the oldest women's shelter in Los Angeles. Its earlier names, Froebel Institute and Sunshine Mission, recall the kindergarten experiment and the mission period. In 2023 it reopened as housing for veterans, with USC President Carol L. Folt attending the opening.

The complex sits on South Hoover Street in a residential neighborhood and is viewable from the street. Daytime visits work best to see the architectural details and how the buildings are positioned on the grounds.

In 2016 a construction crew mistakenly began demolishing part of the complex, leaving one building's interior open to water damage, dry rot and mold. A later $18 million restoration repaired the four historic buildings into 37 residential units, and in 2022 the L.A. Conservancy gave Casa de Rosas a Preservation Award.
