Before and After ~ These photos from selmamansionrebirth.com are perfect for the festive season. Historic homes really shine during the holidays, reminding us that our traditions are drawn from generations past. The house is Selma Mansion, a 1902 Colonial Revival style house in Leesburg, Virginia. It served as a home for several generations and then as a commercial event facility, hosting weddings, etc., before becoming abandoned.
After several decades of vacancy and neglect, it has been beautifully restored by a couple as their home. More information about the house, the owners, and the restoration can be found at selmamansionrebirth.com.
