The Swaim House is a historic house in Chapel Hill, Tennessee, U.S.. It was built in the 1840s, and designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] It belonged to James Fulton, E. G. Forrest, William Turner and J.F. Brittain until J. M. Swain purchased it in 1893.[2] It remained in the Swaim family until the 1980s, when his great-granddaughter Joy Lewter was the homeowner.[2] The house was extended over the years, with the addition of a rear shed circa 1945 and a garage in 1982.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 12, 1984.[3]
