Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 920 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Rock Creek School between 1872 and
1975: 874 Animalia, 29 Fungi, 17 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. B. Fuller, A.E. Daugherty, Ansley, G and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The National Weather Service names
Rock Creek, the town this property stands in, in 14 storm reports between 2000 and 2025: 7 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
No historic map-sheet match is published
for this property yet. That does not mean no map exists. This record needs

7,948 words on record
When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
