103 South Raiford Street - Bank of Selma Building.
A building boom hit Selma early in 1902. The board of directors of the Bank of Selma decided to begin work on a building to be finished in April. Construction also was underway on Winston’s new brick store and Charles Talton’s jewelry store. In addition, W. H. Stallings of Clayton announced plans to open a hotel in the old Hood House, stating moreover that he would keep horses for the convenience of the traveling public.” Later in the summer the committee to locate the Masonic Temple decided on the corner occupied by Raleigh Savings Bank of Raleigh as the site of their new structure. A group of citizens that same summer organized The Selma Furniture Company to make and sell furniture.
