Selma Plantation, Leesburg, Loudoun County, VA. Original house built for Armistead Thomson Mason, but the original part of Selma was destroyed by fire in the early 1890s. From its construction in 1902 until its sale in 1999, the 18 room mansion was a grand home situated on several hundred acres of rolling farmland. Following a succession of owners, Selma was sold to an investor in 1989 and has not been occupied since. It was sold again to a local developer, which filed for bankruptcy in 2008.
