German School, built 1889, for the Zion Evangelical German Church; faces south. Was use at least as late as 1959. Current owner, who did restoration, says his grandfather and grandfather’s two sisters attended there in 1903. After use as a school it was built into a kitchen and had other building attached for use as community center. Later went to a Saddle Club. From US218, turn west on County J56 to the small village of Primrose. Turn south on 143rd Ave, and go a couple blocks south to the end at 197th Street; the school is on the NW corner. Externally restored except west side has garage door installed.
