Swayne Hall, National Historic Landmark building at Talladega College, Alabama.
The three-story brick structure features a portico supported by four Doric columns and cast-iron balconies on the second and third floors.
Built in 1857 by enslaved workers for a Baptist men's college, the building became part of Talladega College in 1867 during the Reconstruction period.
The hall represents a significant milestone in African American education as part of Alabama's first private historically Black liberal arts institution.
Located north of West Brattle Street and east of Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, the building continues to serve educational purposes at Talladega College.
General Wager Swayne, a Union Army commander and military governor of Alabama, gave his name to this landmark structure.
