L. P. Fisher (1821-1905) was the first mayor of
Woodstock, from 1856-1880. He was a lawyer and he
advocated free public education and technical training.
Due to his advocacy he left a free public hospital (his
private residence), a library, a vocational school and
the Fisher Memorial School to the town in trust. The
library, completed in 1914, is made with a pressed
brick exterior and the interior is finished with
