Greek-Revival Architecture


The Lee-Bender-Butler House is a Greek Revival structure that was built in 1850 by Thomas Helm Lee, a cousin of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Lee also built Selma's Sturdivant Hall, now a house museum.

  4. Nice photo of the beautiful building. The green bushes, the blue sky and the white house make a very attractive combination.

  8. Thank you all for commenting. I have had an LSA (Lazy Sunday Afternoon) so am just now checking email and my website. I could probably do a whole blog just on historic Selma houses! This one is especially attractive in the summer when everything is green.
