Fisher Hall, formerly the main building of The Oxford Retreat, was purchased in 1927 by Miami University.

How Cook Field became a place of recreation and community

Before Miami University bought the land where Cook Field sits today, The Oxford Retreat took up the prime real estate. The Retreat, founded in 1882, was an asylum for people with mental and nervous disorders and people with drug addictions. It was run by a man named Dr. Harvey Cook, who is the namesake for Cook Field.
