Madison St. (corner of Decatur St.) in Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio, built in 1898-99 by George Feick for Zion Lutheran Church's parochial school.","why_significant":"The building housed the Zion Lutheran parochial school, which taught elementary students until 1925. Its significance is its role in the education of German-descended Protestants. It was later sold to the Sandusky Board of Education and connected to the new junior high next door.","narrative":"Built in 1898-99 at 414 W. Madison Street in Sandusky, this two-story limestone building was erected for the parochial school of Zion Lutheran Church, which had just built a new church. George Feick served as both architect and builder. The walls are rock-faced ashlar, with an above-ground basement, a stone water table, four-over-four windows with stone sills and lintels, and a hip roof with four wooden dormers. The front entrance has a double door with a transom. Before this building, elementary classes had met in the old Lutheran church in Washington Park. The school operated until 1925, when the congregation sold it to the Sandusky Board of Education. It was then connected to the newly built junior high next door and became part of that school. The nomination identifies its significance as its role in educating German-descended Protestants. It sits in a neighborhood of schools and homes and remains in school use.","period_of_significance":"1898-99","architect_builder":"George Feick (architect/engineer and builder)","architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still in use as a school, owned by the Sandusky Board of Education; interior and exterior condition listed as excellent.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.304073-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001413.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001413/a92726b79f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001413/a92726b79f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jackson_Junior_High_School_in_Sandusky.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jackson_Junior_High_School_in_Sandusky.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71984998","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137777293"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/erie-county/jackson-jr-high-school-82001413/"}
