The Wesley Plattenburg House in Selma, Alabama, completed in 1842, exemplifies a distinctive blend of Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles. Built for Wesley Plattenburg, a Maryland-born tailor turned successful merchant and city councilman, the house once stood at the center of a 2,200-acre plantation that Plattenburg inherited and subsequently managed. The structure is among the few remaining buildings in Selma identifiable on maps of the Civil War's Battle of Selma, though urban expansion eventually enveloped the property. Listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1991 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, the house was designated to Alabama's Places in Peril in 2005.
