Swayne Hall is the oldest structure on the campus of Talladega College in Talladega. Completed in 1857 with the use of slave labor, the building originally housed a Baptist academy. Following the Civil War the Freedmen's Bureau purchased the hall and it is named for Gen. Wager Swayne, the bureau's assistant commissioner at the time.
