Selma Hall

Built in 1837 by a prominent citizen and merchant, Selema Hall is a restored plantation home with details befitting its antebellum roots. Combining Greek revival and Federal styles, the design may have been influenced by other ‘Jeffersonian’ period houses such as Farmington which was built 30 years earlier and is significantly smaller in plan and scale.

The main floor of the house is a half-level above grade, with the lower level containing bedrooms and other support spaces. The front portico shelters a porch and outside entrance to the basement.

Originally on 6,000 acres of farmland, the estate was purchased in the early 1920s and the subdivision of Riedling was created.
