The first public school building in Jackson township was -erected in Minster in 1834, and was situated at the corner of Adams and Zweibruken streets. It served as a township and village school building until 1853, when a four room brick building was erected on Zweibruken street between Adams and Fifth streets. After the establishment of the church and convent at Egypt a school house was built in that locality in i860.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 226 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Egypt Catholic Church and Rectory between 1800 and
1974: 201 Animalia, 25 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by Albert Wetzstein, Ballenstedt, B., Baßmann 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 federal mineral resources record lists
3 workings within 5 miles of Egypt Catholic Church and Rectory: 3 past producers.
None of them still produces. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.

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 reproduced in full on its own page, word for word and 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.
