Fisher Hall, Georgian style university building in Oxford, Ohio.

Fisher Hall features symmetrical architecture with double-hung windows, a hip roof, and classical proportions designed by architect James Keys Wilson at Miami University.

The building was completed in 1856 as Oxford Female College, later transformed into a sanitarium before Miami University purchased it in 1925 for student housing.

The three-story T-shaped structure included multiple entry porches and a third-floor ballroom, reflecting the educational and social needs of 19th-century students.

Following structural concerns in 1958, the building's upper floors closed, limiting activities to the theater section until its complete closure in 1968.

Student Ronald Tammen mysteriously vanished from Fisher Hall in April 1953, leaving his belongings in his room, never to return again.
