It has a high sloping roof, two dormer windows, five windows with shutters on second floor, might be six as tree obscuring left view, ground floor has five or six windows with shutters, single door which is offset from center, porch looks fairly narrow with four slender columns ?, maybe one step from ground. Beneath the left tree I can see a single door and one window without shutter ? on left side of house. On the right side appears to be a later add on indented from main house with one window, one door, high sloping roof, but not as high as house roof, with maybe a dormer window or chimney. This window has solid board shutter, tree. The add on roof looks peculiar to me as if it extended to top of second floor. I donate every year which is why I get the magazine. Will have to request that the Nat'l Trust if they get approved, to send to Seller Hall. LuJuana 78+ DWF, TX
I googled SellersHall and found a web site for "Friends of Sellers Hall" http://sellershall.org/ Some of the links on the left side of page don't work yet. Some do. You can right click on the picture of the building and d/l a copy of it. There is a place to contact for donations. Also a place to send an e-mail.
