It's in Blue Creek Twp., Adams County:
"
The only tile block school building in the county is in this
township, and is known as the "Egypt"
school house. This is situated in the northeast corner of the township
and was built to take the place of a brick that was destroyed there by
fire in 1905."

Message Board Post:
I remember my grandmother, Fern Shorts, b. 1887 in Wells Co. d. 1983,
mentioning the Egypt School. She would have been in grade school about
1893 to 1901. It says in the Biographical Memoirs of Wells Co., when her
father Nicholas "settled in Wells county he began farming, but
subsequently sold his farm in Jefferson township and, in November, 1901,
purchased his present farm of eighty-five acres, one and a half miles
northeast of Ossian." The school could have been in either place. Does
anyone know about this school?
