Athens Man Buys Selma Hotel Chandelier
Athens dealer Oakley Greenhaw and his wife Ruby bought the 19th century crystal chandelier from the Hotel Albert in Selma auction. They plan to keep it lit day and night while seeking a buyer, and the piece weighs about 150 pounds requiring three men to remove it from the 30 foot high ceiling. The Selma hotel, begun in the 1850s and used as a Confederate hospital, closed earlier this year due to high operating costs and low guest turnout.
